Yoram's only standards-related work that I'm aware of was on the keyboard 
layout; the committee benefitted from his knowledge of Hebrew and Biblical 
characters and their uses. I have let the committee know of his passing, if 
anyone there shares more I will share it here as well.

Same here.

Besides open source, Yoram also contributed to open standards -- I met him 
when he contributed to the Hebrew Keyboard Layout standard.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm very sorry to hear these sad news.

Beside Culmus, Yoram was also very friendly to us @ Hamakor, helping with
gathering location in Shenkar.
