This is incredibly sad. Condolences to Kit's family, friends and colleagues.

Kit was one of the kindest persons I've met. I've added my memorial to

Dear Friends,

I have a sad news to share.

Kit Lo, Technical Lead for IBM Eclipse SDK, based out of IBM RTP lab, 
passed away on Saturday, Feb 26th. He was on a routine run on Saturday 
and collapsed on the way. Kit has been with IBM for 32+ years, working 
in various roles and different teams. In the past decade, Kit was the 
lead for Translation / Globalization efforts across various products. 
About 5 years ago, Kit took up the IES Technical Lead role. Kit was a 
very hard worker, continuous learner and always willing to go the 
extra mile to help those in need. Kit was also very active in Eclipse 
Open Source Community. He was the co-lead for Eclipse Babel project 
(community driven translation of strings in Eclipse distribution) and 
in the past year, he also took up the additional role of Eclipse IDE 
Release Engineer.


We in the Eclipse team in IBM, are still trying to come to terms with 
the fact that Kit is no longer with us. Kit was a great friend, mentor 
and guide for those who worked closely with him. We are lucky to have 
worked with him. Kit will be sorely missed.

[cross-project-issues-dev] Sad News

[Mike Milinkovich]

All,

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that our friend and 
colleague Dani Megert passed away last Friday evening. Dani's death was 
not related to COVID-19.


Dani had been involved with the Eclipse community before it was even 
called Eclipse. He was one of the original Object Technology 
International team that created what became known as the Eclipse IDE. 
After OTI became part of IBM he stayed with the project with 
ever-increasing responsibilities: leader of JDT and Platform Text 
projects, Eclipse Platform Lead, Eclipse PMC member, and JDT project 
leader. More recently he stepped up his involvement with the Eclipse 
Foundation's governance and has been an elected member of the Board 
since 2016, representing our committers. Dani was a tireless advocate 
for our projects and committers in our Board discussions. Within IBM he 
was a leader, a manager, but most importantly a mentor, to the Eclipse 
IDE development team.


In recognition of Dani's commitment to the Eclipse community, he was 
awarded the Eclipse Lifetime Award in 2016.


It is impossible to over-state the contributions that Dani made to the 
Eclipse IDE platform and its community. Millions of developers around 
the world have benefited from his work. He will be deeply missed by all 
who knew him.
