<p newsteaser="yes">In the afternoon of Saturday 6 August, our friend and
|
|
active Fellow Elias Diem passed away. He was on his way back home from a hiking
|
|
trip with a friend in the Swiss alps. He slipped and fell about 150 meters. His
|
|
friend tried to rescue him, but it was too late. He died of a heavy head injury
|
|
at the age of 39.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Elias was one of our most active Fellows in Switzerland and his death
|
|
is a great loss to all of us. He led the Zurich Fellowship Group and
|
|
organised or participated in several Free Software related events. He loved the text editor
|
|
Vim and the mail user agent Mutt. Elias was very interested in Free Hardware as
|
|
well and contributed to the <a href="https://www.labdoo.org/">Ladboo
|
|
project</a>, which helps to bring GNU/Linux laptops to schools in emerging
|
|
countries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is no way to fill the gap his loss causes in our hearts. We can
|
|
just try to continue his dedicated work for freedom and fairness.</p>
