Mark Finlay passed away peacefully at home on Friday 9th January 2004.
Mark was the driving force behind the creation of the GNOME Users Board, where he helped numerous people learn to use GNOME. He was also a contributor to Rhythmbox, Gossip and numerous other GNOME projects. To quote Jeff Waugh "Mark Finlay was young, eager, furiously energetic and just heading into university - where I'm sure he would have blossomed into a great GNOME and Free Software hacker."

He will be missed.

I remember the debate behind the Gnome Users Board well. I was impressed that Mark took in comments from many people, and created the wonderful forums so quickly.

I had no idea he was so young. It is very impressive.

Thank you for your help Mark. You will be missed. Peace e with you.
