RIP Rob Levin

Sunday, September 17. 2006

Yesterday Rob Levin, the founder of the freenode IRC network, died after a tragic accident. The Amarok project (and I think the free software world) ows much to his work. It was on freenode where our project was started. Freenode made it possible to bring together our developers from all around the world.

Rob Levin shall be remembered.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragic

"drama characterized by seriousness and dignity, usually involving a conflict between a character and a flaw in the character or some higher power, such as the law, the gods, fate, or society."

Is that what you meant by "tragic"?

Yeah, I suppose. The conflict between a man dedicating his life to fostering open source development by providing a mechanism for worldwide real-time communication, against an unjust God that mercilessly took his life for no apparent good reason.

I believe that fits the definition you supplied.
