Dear Linux hackers,
Sorry for the intrusion on this technical list. I wanted to let Andre's fellow
Linux developers know that he died this past weekend. For those that don't know
him, Andre was an active developer for the ATA driver a while back.
I have known Andre for about 9 years, although I haven't seen much of him in
the past year. He and I attended several retreats together in 2002 and 2003.
I'd like to share a story from the first time I met him.
I was a FreeBSD developer at the time and had done some work in the SCSI (CAM) subsystem.
I met Andre at a retreat center in the Marin woods. As we ate dinner, he mentioned that
he was a software developer. "So am I", I said.
A very sad day. Andre taught me a lot about ATA, and could be
considered one of the grandfathers of libata.
