Gentoo mourns the passing of Ferris McCormick
The Gentoo community has sent out an eulogy for Ferris E. McCormick, known
as "fmccor," who passed away on August 5. "Ferris joined Gentoo
on April 16th 2004 as part of the sparc team and improved sparc support for
the entire open source community. Within a year he also joined the
Developer Relations team to help with mediation of any issues that might
come up between people. As time went on Ferris continued to expand and
assist Gentoo in many ways including assisting with the User Relations team
and growing to become the Strategic Manager of the sparc project. Finally,
he became a trustee and the Vice President of the Foundation assisting in
getting the foundation back into good standing.
