"Frans was involved in Debian as a maintainer of several packages, a supporter of the S/390 port, and one of the most involved members of the Debian Installer team. He was a Debian Listmaster, editor and release manager of the Installation Guide and the release notes, as well as a Dutch translator."

He was one of the few guys with a cool name on LKML.
Rest in peace.

This was a devastating loss for Debian. Frans contributed in so many places and did so much work. Really sad to see him go. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
