Ad Terras Per Aspera

Rob Levin passed away on the 16th.

Honestly, I don’t know what to write. I mean, he and I never saw eye to eye on things, and we used to fight back and forth constantly, but this sucks; you’re talking to a guy one day, and the next day you find out he’s dead.

Theres nothing I can really say anymore, or really, anything that matters. I was critical of his actions at times when he was alive, and I’m not going to take that back, not that I really can. I just hope that since he’s gone now, Freenode can continue on without him there to lead anymore. I may have not agreed with his choices, but I don’t think there are any people out there that could have brought Freenode this far.

The legacy he leaves behind is an IRC network that benefits the entire FOSS community, and I think that he should be remembered for this for a long, long time.

Rest in peace, old friend.
