Farewell to a friend and a leader. I knew Michel in the decade of 2000, through the cireresearch list. After many e-mails we finally met in person in Brazil, in 2012 and after that in India, in 2015. He went up from São Paulo city to Marília city ( 400 km) just to meet me! He collaborated with my events, he supported me, he guided and inspired my work, he kicked my bottom when I was stupid. Thousands around the world like me will treasure Mike's teachings, and miss his presence, intelligence, wiseness and courage.
This world needs many more Michaels Gurstein. Hope we all be able to carry on with his fight in the pursuit of information technologies that liberate and join, instead of controlling and polarizing. Thanks Mike and rest in peace, as you made of this planet something better with you ideas and actions. You inspired and gave hope to many of us. My sentiments to the family; hope you find consolation in knowing that his legacy will remain world-wide forever.
