[kde-community] Sad news (fwd)

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Jens, I think that would be lovely. It is so hard to lose a member of
the community. And to lose a young person, who would otherwise have a
long career ahead of them, feels tragic.

I would like to see a respectful Dot story, and some nice memories on
blogs as well. And a named Calligra release seems perfect.

Does anyone have contact with the family, to be sure that this
attention to their loved one is welcome?
