Ahh, that's good to know that Otavio offically took over this role!

I hope that this heads up might help finding some more volunteers.
Probably it makes sense to publish a set of tasks to do for d-i to
make people know what skills they need for working on it.

Kind regards

 Andreas.

Otavio Salvador is the current release manager for d-i since quite some
time. So we don't need a new leader.

That said the team can always benefit from new volunteers.

Heads up for Debian Installer (Re: Debian Project mourns the loss of Frans Pop)

this sad news probably has made many of us very sad.  But life has to go
on and while we all know that Frans has played an important role for the
Debian installer I would like to back up this knowledge by a figure
which shows *how* important he obviosely was:

I admit that I personally can not spend the (spare) time which is needed
to work on or even lead a project like debian-installer but I would like
to raise the awareness of people here by showing the figure above that
especially in freeze time a new leader of the installer team is needed.

Kind regards

   Andreas.

As several asked me already here is a small clarification:  I set the
sender to "Debian Project", as I thought it would be more proper and
underline, that this obituary comes from the entire project, not just
some members of it.  I didn't want cause the impression of an
automatically invoked, machanized announcement, nor was it my intention,
to show disrespect.  I'm sorry, if, what was intended as a nice gesture,
was missunderstood.

We had contact with his family. We would like to respect their privacy,
and not discuss about details in public.

Debian Project mourns the loss of Frans Pop

The Debian Project has lost a member of its community. Frans Pop (fjp)
died on August 20th.

Frans was involved in Debian as a maintainer of several packages, a
supporter of the S/390 port, and one of the most involved members of
the Debian Installer team. He was a Debian Listmaster, editor and
release manager of the Installation Guide and the release notes, as
well as a Dutch translator.

The Debian Project honours his good work and strong dedication to
Debian and Free Software.  Frans' broad technical knowledge and his
ability to share that knowledge with others will be missed.  The
contributions of Frans will not be forgotten, and the high standards of
his work will continue to serve as an inspiration to others.

:'(
Do we have any more information on Frans's death?
