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.
