Dear All,

I am very sorry to convey this sad news on this list.

A dear friend and an early pioneer of the GRASS team,
David Hastings passed away in the Hospital in Colorado
on Monday 13 November as 11.25am.

David was a member of the GRASS-GIS Interagency Steering
Committee (GIASC) since 1987. I think he was a member till he passed
away, sinceĀ  GIASC was never formally disbanded.

Besides his several other accomplishments, David is also an author of the
Linux " GRASS HOWTO" [1].

David was diagnosed with a serious illness in May, 2016 and could
not recover.

Thanks David for your contributions to GRASS, RIP.

Venka
