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."

Re: Mark Finlay passes away

Sad times for the gnome community.

It always amazed me how mark was so energetic

with projects while fighting his desease.

I wish his parents, familie and friends good luck.

They should know that we deeply respect his work

for the community and how mark was as a person.

Never forget to tell those around you, that you love them.
