Thanks for passing this along, Nicolas.
Agg is some serious ninja-voodoo... Whenever looking through it to
explore something new, I move from utter confusion to complete amazement
at how all kinds of difficult problems are solved in an ingenious and
ultimately extremely flexible way. And I think it's fair to say that
matplotlib would not have achieved the level of overall raster quality
it has without Agg under the hood.

Hello all,
I have been informed by an anonymous user of Russian Software
Developer Network forum (thank you mate, whoever you are) that Maxim
Shemanarev, author of AGG library, has died on 26th of November 2013.
See below links for more information.
I thought it would be good to honor the memory of Maxim in some way,
e.g. on agg's sourceforge website. Also, it would be a shame if his
website disappeared, we owe him that, but I am not sure whether we can
do anything more than a copy of it.
Requiescat in pace, Maxim!
