Dear Stackers,
Since git and Gerrit are at the heart of our development process, I am
passing on this very sad news from the git / Gerrit communities that
Shawn Pearce has passed away after an aggressive lung cancer.
Shawn was founder of Gerrit / JGit / libgit2 / git-gui, and the third
most prolific contributor to git itself.

He is survived by his wife and two young sons. A memorial fund has
been set up in aid of the boys' education and future:

Thank you Shawn for enriching our lives with your great contributions
to the FLOSS community.

OpenStack would not be where it is today without Shawn's work.

Hi Luca, that's such sad news :-( What an incredible contribution
Shawn made to the community. In addition to Gerrit, I use git-gui and
gitk regularly, and also my git-deps utility is based on libgit2. I
had no idea he wrote them all, and many other things.
I will certainly donate and also ensure that the OpenStack community
is aware of the memorial fund. Thanks a lot for letting me know!

from the driving high-level vision to the coding skills to solve any

pleasure of collaborating with him on code reviews, as I know many of
you did, you've seen first-hand his dedication and commitment to
quality. You can read more about his contributions in this recent
interview

community with hundreds of contributors used by some of the world's
most prominent tech companies is something he was extremely proud of.
