Dear all,

Yesterday the sad news broke that Hans Rosling, the Swedish statistician, has 
died from cancer: 
http://www.thelocal.se/20170207/swedish-statistician-hans-rosling-dies-from-pancreatic-cancer.

Not only was he “a world famous public educator, or Edutainer as he liked to 
call it”, a number of the Software Carpentry teaching materials use a dataset 
derived from his Gapminder World <http://www.gapminder.org/world>, "a 
web-service displaying time series of development statistics for all countries 
and many sub-national regions” (Wikipedia).

Let’s continue to honour Hans Rosling’s legacy by reusing his material while 
improving the life of researchers.

Regards,

        Lex Nederbragt
