Thanks for sending this along, Adam. Our community owes Shawn (and
his family for that matter) a great debt of gratitude, and not just
for the software he's written. Many are the times when spearce
helped me out personally over IRC with Gerrit-related issues, even
though I'm certain he could have been spending his time on more
interesting endeavors instead. He will be missed.

Indeed.

In open source in general, and in OpenStack in particular, we stand on
the shoulders of a multitude of giants. Shawn will be missed.

Hi Luca, that's such sad news :-(  What an incredible contribution
Shawn made to the community.  In addition to Gerrit, I use git-gui and
gitk regularly, and also my git-deps utility is based on libgit2.  I
had no idea he wrote them all, and many other things.

I will certainly donate and also ensure that the OpenStack community
is aware of the memorial fund.  Thanks a lot for letting me know!

[openstack-dev] Remembering Shawn Pearce (fwd)

2018-02-02 Thread Adam Spiers 

Dear Stackers,

Since git and Gerrit are at the heart of our development process, I am
passing on this very sad news from the git / Gerrit communities that
Shawn Pearce has passed away after an aggressive lung cancer.

Shawn was founder of Gerrit / JGit / libgit2 / git-gui, and the third
most prolific contributor to git itself.
