Linux and its community have changed my thinking dramatically. What I find beautiful about this open community is just how accessable it is to anyone willing to learn. We can see our heros and talk to them much more respectfully and mutually than most other people could dream.

As a result of this openness and freedom it is therefore doubly sad when we lose those who help things along. I am saddened by this loss and wish Nigel's loved ones the best.

Nigel's book

Posted Jun 27, 2005 5:11 UTC (Mon) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link]

I did not know Nigel, but he was author of "Rapid Application Development in Mozilla". He contributed that work, and many others, to everyone as Open Source. You can download the PDF here, the source of the book is also online. I hope that someone will step forward to continue Nigel's work, keep this book up to date, and make it part of the Mozilla documentation.

Bruce
