Dear Linux Australia,
I'm passing on this heavy news from the Tasmanian Linux User's Group, as I'm
sure Peter has touched a much wider group of us.
The sad news is that Peter Billam passed away last week.
He had been fighting ill health at Royal Hobart Hospital for the last two
months when on Wednesday his condition deteriorated suddenly. He died
peacefully in the company of a friend on Thursday.
Peter was a great enthusiast of the FLOSS community, particularly at the
intersections of FLOSS and his other passion, music.
A key insight into Peter's heart, passions and outlook on life are that his
website is in English _and_ Esperanto.
Peter leaves behind one of the finest examples of a hand-made personal
website[1], which he loved working on. I will not attempt to summarise
his many and varied projects - I invite you to have a browse.

Peter will be heavily missed by everyone that knew him.
