Mourning Hans-Jürgen Koch
Thomas Gleixner wrote the following to us: The Linux Kernel community is mourning the passing of Hans-Jürgen Koch. Hans was a free-software enthusiast and an active contributor. He worked on Radio Data System support both in kernel and user space and was the main author and maintainer of the UIO subsystem and contributed in various ways to the Linux kernel as a professional and hobbyist. He authored a UIO book, gave countless talks at various open-source conferences, and served as a member of the Linuxtag program committee.His calm and modest nature made it a pleasure to work with him. Meeting him in person was always a enjoyable experience. His interests spanned a broad range from literature, music and history to politics and engagement for the German branch of Friends of the Earth. His wicked sense of humor along with his always ready to be told bag of anecdotes enlivened quite some social events.
He will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
