Hello, As this is now public, I'd like to thank Frans here for his strong involvment in discussions between debian-boot and debian-accessibility around 2008 which ended up with the accessibility support we currently have in the Debian Installer (as well as future software speech synthesis which I unfortunately didn't have the time to push for Squeeze).
Thanks again, and rest in peace.

Frans Pop (fjp) died on August 20th. Frans was involved in Debian as a maintainer of several packages, a supporter of the S/390 port, and one of the most involved members of the Debian Installer team. He was a Debian Listmaster, editor and release manager of the Installation Guide and the release notes, as well as a Dutch translator. The Debian Project honours his good work and strong dedication to Debian and Free Software. Frans' broad technical knowledge and his ability to share that knowledge with others will be missed. The contributions of Frans will not be forgotten, and the high standards of his work will continue to serve as an inspiration to others.
