Re: Hugh Daniel has passed away
I am sad to hear about this. I remember Hugh from various IPsec test events. And the lights… I still remember the lights. Jari

I remember many interesting moments and conversations within the times that I talked with him. He was a very memorable person. But certainly the one that stands out in my mind the most was our first encounter. He wrote me over email as we were arranging a time and place to meet and ended it with I'll be wearing a red shirt; you won't miss me. I thought at the time that was quite a declaration. And indeed I did not miss him that day. I do now, however. -- Wes Hardaker Parsons

I met Hugh many years ago when we were working on our overlay system, and had problems integrating it with FreeS/WAN's IPsec implementation. And yes, I too remember the LED lights. He correlated wavelength with clue - the shorter the wavelength, the higher you stood in his view, AFAIR. -- He visited my office about 12 years ago - unannounced, as was more typical than not. After talking at length, he invited me to dinner with a group of his friends in a nearby town. I mentioned that I was 'closing' on a house in that same town, and would show him after dinner. He rolled up just under a large tree and parked on the street. I asked him why he picked that location, and he said it was because his friend was three lots up the street, and this was the closest vacant spot. He had parked directly at my new house. Through him I met a very interesting sci-fi writer, Renfair frequenter, and food historian that evening, among others, at a restaurant I walk past nearly every day. His contributions to my six degrees was sincerely appreciated and will be missed. Joe

I have known Hugh for a number of years (about the time he first moved out to the Bay Area in the early '80s). And we have maintain a close contact. Under normal conditions I would talk with Hugh at least once a month. Often times more often. In the 2011-2012 time frame he spent almost a year back in the DC area doing work for a friend. He he came back he developed an inner ear condition which earlier this year caused him to almost be blind. He did get some meds for the condition at the time but it was not until last month when he found the correct me (or at least one which seemed to be working better). Of late he has been able to see mostly normal (not his extra normal vision which he had but closer to a standard 20/20 vision). I last talked to Hugh about a week+ ago. At that time he was on a good day after having had a few bad days and being almost full bed ridden. About half an hour ago (2:15 AM 6/4) I was able to talk with Mel. Hugh had picked Mel up from the airport and seemed his normal self (or at least his present condition self). Monday morning Mel had walked around the apartment and knew that Hugh had been up and not in his bedroom. Then at 2:30 PDT Mel went to a movie. He found Hugh on the floor in the bathroom with the water running (which was not running before the movie). Which means the TOD was between 2:30-4:30 PDT. Mel did overhear one of the EMTs say that Hugh's body temp (at that time) was at 72F. Mel has confirmed that both Hugh's mother and sister has been notified and he has talked with both of them. At present we are not sure of cause of death but it would seem to be heart attack or stroke related. I for one will miss Hugh. He has been a good friend and help me a number of times. When I had a tech question I wanted answered, Hugh was the person I turned to in most cases. I have enjoyed our late night chats on the phone during the last few years. There has been times when he wanted someone to talk to about technical issues, or about what was happening in the world (such as the flooding and nuclear building collapse). Or talking about how he was solving a human rights abuse issue by being able to read 8 inch floppies which had been stored away (this even made Frontline, Hugh was never mention as the person, but he was doing the main technical work.) Hugh even gave me a VoIP call while he was there. Or how he was testing metal detectors in bath of dry ice, so Landon Noll could used them for Antarctic meteorites. I will miss my good friend.

Hugh Daniel has passed away
Hugh Daniel passed away on June 3rd after what appears to have been a heart attack. https://nohats.ca/hugh-of-borg.jpg Those who met him, know him. Principled to the core, and very present in any room, he compelled people to listen to him - both by what he said, and how loud he said it. He has made many contributions during the early days of IPsec and DNSSEC. He was a manager of the FreeS/WAN Project for many years and co-founder of The Openswan Project and recently The Libreswan Project, although his health prevented him from being as active and he wanted to be in the last two years. I met him for the first time at the CCC summer conference in 1999. Our car had broken down, and everyone around me suggested to find Hugh Daniel for help. He shone his freeswan photon light under the car, diagnosed the problem, and put in a quick fix we could carefully drive to a repair shop at 5km/h where we could tell the mechanic what to fix. We started talking about Linux, crypto and he recruited me for the FreeS/WAN and the goal to make the default mode of the internet encrypted. It is what started me on IPsec, Opportunistic Encryption and DNS(SEC). In 2003, he brought me to my first IETF in Vienna. Hugh, you are still causing a difference and we will raise a non-aloholic drink in your honour when we have reached the universal deployment of encrypted communication for everything.

I had completely lost track of him in the past decade, but he was one of the most memorable people I ever met through the IETF. We met first at IETF 37 I think, in San Jose, and kept reconnecting at meetings for the next few years, and sharing music and book recommendations in between. At IETF 40 he joined me and a few friends on a trip out of town to a concert. I wish I remembered more of the stories he told - I remember re-telling them to other people often, back in the 1990s, but only remember a few now. If I recall correctly, in addition to his leadership in promoting encryption on the Internet, he also had a mission to make Internet access available all over the western US, and started a number of local and regional ISPs in the 90s in pursuit of this goal. -- Cos
