RIP: Leonard Zubkoff

Posted by chrisd on from the we'll-miss-you-friend dept.

UnidentifiedCoward writes "LWN.net has a link to a blurb at KTVA, "Alaska State Troopers have recovered the bodies and released the names of two men killed late last week in a helicopter crash in Southeast. They are 38-year-old David Zampino of Fairbanks and 45-year-old Leonard Zubkoff of Crystal Bay, Nevada." Mr. Zubkoff was a linux kernel developer and the maintainer of BusLogic and DAC960 projects." Leonard was a hell of a nice guy and will be missed.

    From dandelion digital's homepage:

    "Leonard is also active in the Cryonics movement, and hosts the domain for Consonance."

    Not to be morbid or too sick, but does anyone see the irony of a cryonics enthusiast dying in an accident in ALASKA?

    He'd obviously gotten too used to using linux, and he thought crashing was something that happened to other people.

    Slashdot seems to run a lot of obituaries. Perhaps there should be a topic for it.
    There already is. It's called the BSD section.

    Yeah, as long as the thrift shop doesn't burn down.
