With a heavy heart, I am sorry to announce that after a long struggle with
an illness, Ilya Etingof (etingof on IRC) passed away on Wednesday, 10th
August, 2022.

He is survived by his mother and two daughters.

Born in Russia, Ilya had moved to Czechia and in 2015 joined Red Hat. In
2017, Ilya started contributing to the Ironic project. He was the lead
contributor to the Sushy project, Sushy Redfish emulator, an important
contributor to Ironic and worked tirelessly to make hardware management
reliable and consistent. His important contributions included boot
management, out-of-band hardware inspection and virtual media boot.

Outside of the OpenStack community, he has maintained Python packages with
a particular focus on SNMP. For example: pysnmp, pysmi, pyasn1, softboxen
and many others.

Ilya was dedicated to helping younger and under-represented people. He used
to run a virtualisation technologies course at the Masaryk University in
Brno where he spoke about OpenStack and Kubernetes.

He was also an active participant in the Outreachy program where he
mentored those who contributed to Open Source projects.

Goodbye Ilya from the Ironic community, may you rest in peace.
