Folks, A tragic event today, following the (unrelated) demise of Prof. Rajeev Motwani last week. A successful Linux developer committed suicide in Bangalore today - K.T.Ligesh, founder of LxLabs, a Linux virtual server company apparently killed himself after a security vulnerability was found in his flagship app (the two events may be unrelated). There were apparently no financial difficulties - police say that his bank account had "crores".
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/06/09/lxlabs_funder_death/ The Lxlabs home page as well as the product lineup look very impressive, even by international standards. http://lxlabs.com/ The hypervisor manager (?) that they offer looks very polished, at least from the specs. Impressive work, coming from a 32-year old. Tragic event, indeed - hits closer home than the events surrounding Hans Reiser a few years ago. -Siva _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
