I was a friend of Ian’s but not closer; this comes as a brutal shock. Still, I thank you for informing us. Truly, I am stunned and upset. > > I had never met Ian, but I knew him as a key contributor in the Education > sector.

More recently, I wanted rather a lot to work with him and possibly vice versa. Circumstances put that off— Ian was also formerly a competitive weight lifter and had about him a boundless and infectious energy. All the more to find this news so very shocking. > > I hope that someone who knew him better will volunteer and write a couple > paragraphs for the OpenOffice blog in his memory. I would love to. I suspect, though, that JZA might have volunteer? He worked with Ian, I believe. > > See http://www.opensourceconsortium.org/ian-lynch/ for more details. Thanks, Andrea.
