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

Shocked.. and almost in tears..

My condolences to everyone who knew MArk, including his family and friends.

One of the things that drove me to the GNOME desktop, was the great enthusiasm of MArk.

Though I didn't know him in real life, I did speak with him for a few times via the discussion boards and he always was one very friendly person.

You will be missed MArk..

Rest In Peace.
