I am sure most of you heard, Aaron Swartz one of the pioneers of RSS, Reddit,social hacktivism, and on top of that a great person, died.
I knew Aaron very briefly when he worked out of the Sunlight Foundation offices several years back. I remember him being incredibly sweet, smart, funny and generous. It is tragic how he was treated for making information, that belongs to the public, open. He was a hero to lot of us. I'm very sad to not have his ever present passion and heart no longer around. As we move forward with our endeavors to bring information into the public sphere we can't forgot the people that came before us and led the way. Aaron you have left a void, Rest in Peace. -- Nisha Thompson Mobile: 962-061-2245 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
