Kerry From: Kerry Raymond [mailto:kerry.raym...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 16 April 2018 6:28 PM To: 'Wikimedia-AU-Members' <wikimedia-au-members-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedia-au-members-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org> > Cc: 'Australian Wikimedians mailing list' <wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org> > Subject: Sad news It is with great sadness that I share with you the news that Craig Franklin has died. Craig has been a member of Wikimedia Australia for many years during which time he has held various roles including President, Vice President, and Treasurer. He was active in outreach work here in South-East Queensland, in particular in forging the strong partnership between State Library of Queensland and WMAU. Craig was one of the first Wikipedians I ever met in person and he encouraged me to join Wikimedia Australia where he got me involved in outreach after my retirement. He served the cause of open knowledge as a Wikipedia contributor, an administrator, an oversighter, a member of the OTRS team, and most recently as an ombudsman. He always tried to be fair and kind to his fellow Wikipedians. They say only the good die young and that is tragically so for Craig. He was funny about the things that did not matter, sincere about the things that did, and an all-round decent Aussie bloke. The stars will shine a little brighter tonight as he is now among them. Pru Mitchell and I have arranged for flowers to be sent to his family expressing the condolences of Wikimedia Australia and the Australian Wikipedian community and expressing the high regard he was held in by our community. As this list is archived and accessible to the public, I will not include any personal details. However, if you wish to send personal condolences to his family, please contact me via email for contact details. Kerry
