My good friend Frans Pop died on the 20th of August 2010. We had
|
| 2 |
worked together for several years within Debian (especially within the
|
| 3 |
Debian CD team), and we had become firm friends during that time. He
|
| 4 |
was great to work with, always ready to help design new features or
|
| 5 |
pick holes and find the bugs in the stuff I was developing myself,
|
| 6 |
happy for others to dig into his own projects. On the more personal
|
| 7 |
side, we met up many times at different Free Software events like
|
| 8 |
DebConf and FOSDEM, and also for pure social things like BBQs and
|
| 9 |
parties. We shared a lot of good times.

This release of debian-cd (version 3.1.4) is the last release that
|
| 12 |
he contributed towards directly. I dedicate it to his memory.

Rest In Peace, my friend. You will be missed.
