mortality.
I logged on to irc this early morning to find that a friend of mine had passed away. gone was my cheery mood and my sunny disposition took over.
Rob Levin was one of the very few infrastructure moguls in oss, a who got “it” about open source, he wasnt all too concerned with global domination, but more about how to go about the revolution logistically. He was many things to me, a good listener, skilled in diplomacy, a strategist, but most of all. a good man in times of ambitious bastards.
I’d love to be able to do something more, anything. but I’m at loss as to what short of donating to pdpc, which is what I am going to do. but it doesnt feel … like it would be enough.
Rob, I hope you’re up there, showing them who you are, what you did for all of us, and living life to the fullest.
