On behalf of the MapServer community, and its PSC, we wish to send our
condolences to the family of Olivier Courtin, as we have sadly learned
of his unfortunate passing.
Olivier was a big part of the MapServer and Open Source community,
through his work as the creator of the TinyOWS project, as a core
contributor to PostGIS, as co-founder of the company Oslandia, as a
manager with Camptocamp, and of course as a lead organizer of the 2016
OSGeo Code Sprint in Paris. Recently Olivier founded the open company
DataPink, and created the open framework neat-EO.
Olivier through his work through various companies and projects helped
fund conferences, sprints, functional additions to projects and, of
course, contributions of code and support. Olivier was a significant
driver of those relationships, even given his quiet demeanor.
First priority is his family and friends (we have already reached out to
his family to send our thoughts and offer assistance). Some of us are
quiet, and still processing this unfortunate news.
This is of course not the time to discuss software issues, but the
MapServer PSC will tackle this shortly in the upcoming PSC meeting.
Again, our sincere thoughts to his family and close friends.
Olivier, we miss you already.
-on behalf of the MapServer PSC
