[Paulo Santos Perneta]

This is so sad to know... I fondly remember Deror, when we first met in
GLAM Wiki 2018 in Tel Aviv, the way he very warmly welcomed me to the
place, and all the interaction we had afterwards...
Thank you very much Itzik, for telling us about this great loss to our
movement and everyone who had the great privilege of meeting him.
Sending my deep condolences to his family and friends.

Kind regards,
Paulo

Thank you, Itzik.

This is devastating. I am very sorry to hear that, and would like to extend
my condolences to Deror's family, friends and Wikimedia Israel.

For me, Deror has kind of always been around, and the (too few) moments we
shared were delightful and insightful at once. Such a loss for our
movement.

Kind regards,
Nicole

It was always a pleasure to work with Deror, to hear him speak with such
passion for the Wikimedia community and its work, to just be in his
company.  He will be missed by so many.  May his memory be a blessing.

I got a very short opportunity to work with Deror while in the virtual
Wikimania COT in 2021. His passion towards the movement coming from the
huge experience he had, was strongly felt in the team and I am sure that
will be dearly missed by his colleagues and friends for years to come.

I wish only, if we could have a more permanent way to commemorate our
unsung heroes when they are gone.

[Florence Devouard]

I feel very sad as well. His joyful personnality, his energy and 
enthousiasm, and his erudition left me with very fond memories. As 
mentionned by others... a very documented visit of Jerusalem so many 
years ago... Wikimania in Haifa... the coolest projects... the 2022 
award... and yes... his struggles with technology during Wikimania 
committee meetings :) He was a graceful fighter.


My deepest condolences to Deror's family and friends

Dear friends,

I'm sorry to update that our friend and colleague Deror Lin
(user:Deror_Avi) passed away this morning.

Deror was a truly Wikimedian in blood who poured his heart and
soul into the movement in many ways, even in his final days. He
joined Wikipedia in 2004 and was one of the founders of Wikimedia
Israel. For over 16 years, he served as an active board member.

He was the driving force behind Wikimania 2011 in Haifa and a key
member of the Wikimania committee ever since. He led countless
programs and projects, both locally and internationally, including
conferences, WLM competitions, educational programs, photo and
editing contests, and many others.

More than that, he wrote over 8,600 articles on HEWP (comprising
more than 2% of it!), making him the number one article writer in
HEWP, alongside more than 37,000 contributions to Commons.

For his huge contribution and love for the movement, he was
honored last year as the Wikipedia Laureate of 2022.

Deror, you were not just a colleague but a true friend. We worked
together on many projects, events, and initiatives over the years.
No matter the situation, you always had a smile and shining eyes
with your love for Wikipedia.

*On behalf of Wikimedia Israel, I extend our deepest condolences
to Deror's family and friends. You will always be remembered, Deror.*
*ברוך דיין האמת. Baruch dayan ha-emet*

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Deror Lin passed away

[phoebe ayers]

Thank you for letting us know, Itzik; I am so sorry to hear this news.

Deror and I worked on many Wikimanias together, as planners and as members
of the steering committee, but we spent perhaps the most time together on
the program for Wikimania 2017. For that conference, Deror put the hundreds
of submissions we got into wikitables by hand, reviewing and scoring them
all. We had gotten a lot more submissions than we expected, and so we spent
a lot of time talking about how many of the talks we could accept. Why not
just hire more rooms at the venue? Deror would say. He always wanted to
take as many as we could.

In this way and in so many other ways, Deror was a maximalist. He wanted to
know all he could, see everything he could, and share everything he
possibly could with others. When he took me on a tour of Haifa and
Jerusalem, I came away sharing some of the profound wonder and love he had
for these places. When we met up elsewhere in the world for Wikimania,
going on other people's tours was always at the top of the list for Deror
-- he wanted to learn about the home turf of other Wikipedians as much as
he wanted to share his own. He also shared his photos, his belief in
editing Wikipedia, and his profound desire to bring people together at
events and trainings. A Wikipedian with many, many thousands of edits, he
always said he was bad at computers. But this never seemed to discourage
him much.

Funny, enthusiastic, argumentative, joyous Deror: your curiosity and desire
to learn things knew no bounds. I'm lucky to have known you, Wikimedia was
lucky to have you, and you will be very missed. Condolences to his family,
and to his many friends. We will remember you with love and the hope of
carrying on your commitment to open knowledge and spirit of adventure in
the world.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Deror Lin passed away

[effe iets anders]

I have more fond memories of Deror than I can immediately recall - I
remember him as a force of positive energy both on and off stage, usually
in connection to Wikimania. My earliest memories are probably in 2010
Gdansk where Deror was part of the Haifa team trying to soak up as much
experience from previous years' organizers as possible to help pull off
Wikimania in 2011. After that, we kept running into each other, and the
time that we presented the movements' coolest projects and he continued
that series in the years after was probably one of the vivid ones. Always
running around from one odd job to the next, he found time to sit together
and (somewhat chaotically) put a presentation together that brought a smile
on peoples' faces.

Deror, we will miss you and it has been a pleasure and honor to have worked
with you.

I am so sorry to hear this; it was always a delight to meet him (and often,
in my case, to talk about interesting issues in copyright!) and I greatly

Sad to learn of Deror’s demise! Had the pleasure of interacting with him as

Deepest sympathies and condolences to his friends, family, colleagues, and
fellow Wikimedians.
We've lost a real gem. His passion for his community and our whole movement
was unmatchable.
The impact of his countless contributions will never erode. Will miss his
smile dearly.

Itzik, these are sad news indeed. Deror did so much for the movement, for
so long – in different places, in different ways. Thank you for letting us

Hi Itzik,

This is shocking and heart-wrenching news. My deepest condolences to
Deror's family and friends, as well as to Wikimedia Israel, the Hebrew
Wikipedia community and the global community for this huge loss. Deror was
a good friend of mine, we worked together in many volunteer capacities in
the movement and spent many memorable moments at Wikimedia-related events.
