Hi David

Thank you so much of letting the Chakra team know about this, we have
wondered many times since last fall were "FritzvanTom" was.  But this
news......what a shock to all of us, and please extend our most sincere and
deepest condolences to you and his family.

Johannes Tröscher worked on almost every aspect of Chakra, his many
contributions include a much more user friendly bundle manager interface,
he wrote the Welcome Plasmoid anyone new to Chakra would see as a first
introduction.  Many parts of our installer Tribe got  improvements from his
code.  His active involvement in the KDE web-browser Rekonq, benefited the
whole KDE community.

We would like to make an announcement of this terrible news, to let our
user base know about this loss.  If you could (or wish to) provide a
picture, we'd like to use that.
If you are in agreement, then the team would also like to dedicate our next
ISO series (the live environment we release for users to install Chakra on
their system) to him, and will use the name "Fritz" for that.

On behalf of the Chakra-Project Team,
Anke Boersma
