Hi Scott @all,
this are bad and very sad news!
I think no one could really imagine in how many tasks an project Gerry
was involved and now will be missed.
We was my guide and mentor on the documentation project and with the
setup guide. I never met him in person but several times in the www. I
will miss his energy and his clear words.
Shouldn't we put a hint about our in deep grief on the start page of
documentation.openoffice.org?
My thoughts go out to his family and friends too.
I will forward this sad news to ooauthors.org and the German dev list too.
We will miss him and his never sleeping eyes on so much tasks.

project was being discussed.

way it is with online communities like ours. We have talked about a
trip to Toronto at some point, but always felt there was time.
