I've mostly been silent about the loss of Adrianne and Cindy publicly,
because I've mostly not had any idea what to say.  I'd been working with
both on various projects for quite a while, and had a multi-hour skype call
with Adrianne in the recent past about the gendergap and education outreach
efforts.  I've rarely met a Wikimedian as passionate about making the world
a better place than Adrianne.  Cindy and Adrianne will both be terribly,
terribly missed.  I wish I had the eloquence that has been put forth by
other people in various places, but right now a large part of me is still
just trying to process.
