I never had to chance to meet Marco but I can say that I only have heard
wonderful things about him, as a human being and as an engineer. My most
sincere condolences to his family and friends.

1. It is with great sadness that write these words: Marco Presenti
Gritti, the principal Sugar developer from Red Hat from 2006 to 2008 and
one of the founders of Sugar Labs, passed away this past weekend after a
long illness. Marco was a brilliant engineer whose work still reverberates
throughout the Sugar stack and a warm, personable colleague, father, and
husband. We will miss you Marco.
Thank you for sharing this sad news which I - and I assume many others
here - would have missed otherwise.
Reading it made me go back through my e-mail and photo archives and I
found this shot from FUDCon Brno in September 2008:

I'll always remember mpg like that: A brilliant and cheerful software
engineer amidst like-minded and equally friendly and dedicated software
geniuses who built the foundations of Sugar.
And +1 to Gonzalo's suggestions of dedicating 0.106 to Marco and his young
family!
If anyone has his physical address please let me know as I'd love send my
condolences to his two Danielas in this time of sadness and mourning.
