Linux Australia Pays Tribute To Rob "lilo" Levin. Whilst the world celebrated Software Freedom Day, the sad news filtered through that Rob Levin, creator and founder of Freenode, has died. Freenode is a global IRC network frequented by many Free and Open Source Software users, enthusiasts and developers. The Freenode Network is home to many Australian Linux and Open Source Internet communication channels which are used for computer support, networking and socialising. Levin was the victim of a hit and run accident whilst riding his bike in his home town of Houston, Texas. He is survived by his wife and son. A Book of Condolences will be made available on the Internet shortly, email staff@freenode.net for details. Linux Australia would like to acknowledge Rob's significant contribution to the worldwide Free and Open source software movement with this formal statement of regret at his passing and offer heartfelt condolence to his family and friends. sources: http://www.tonystreet.com/lilo.txt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Levin http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/06/09/16/2152243.shtml -- James Purser Ordinary Committee Member Linux Australia
