>> It is my sad duty to inform the community that Chris Yeoh passed away
>> this morning. Chris leaves behind a daughter Alyssa, aged 6, who I hope
>> will remember Chris as the clever and caring person that I will remember
>> him as. I haven’t had a chance to confirm with the family if they want
>> flowers or a donation to a charity. As soon as I know those details I will

>> Chris worked on open source for a very long time, with OpenStack being
>> just the most recent in a long chain of contributions. He worked tirelessly
>> on his contributions to Nova, including mentoring other developers. He was
>> dedicated to the cause, with a strong vision of what OpenStack could
>> become. He even named his cat after the project.
>>
>> Chris might be the only person to have ever sent an email to his
>> coworkers explaining what his code review strategy would be after brain
>> surgery. It takes phenomenal strength to carry on in the face of that kind
>> of adversity, but somehow he did. Frankly, I think I would have just sat on
>> the beach.
>>
>> Chris was also a contributor to the Linux Standards Base (LSB), where he
>> helped improve the consistency and interoperability between Linux
>> distributions. He ran the ‘Hackfest’ programming contests for a number of
>> years at Australia’s open source conference -- linux.conf.au. He
>> supported local Linux user groups in South Australia and Canberra,
>> including involvement at installfests and speaking at local meetups. He
>> competed in a programming challenge called Loki Hack, and beat out the
>> world to win the event[1].
>>
>> Alyssa’s memories of her dad need to last her a long time, so we’ve
>> decided to try and collect some fond memories of Chris to help her along
>> the way. If you feel comfortable doing so, please contribute a memory or
>> two at
>> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kX-ePqAO7Cuudppwqz1cqgBXAsJx27GkdM-eCZ0c1V8/viewform
>>
>> Chris was humble, helpful and honest. The OpenStack and broader Open
>> Source communities are poorer for his passing.
