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

I'm really sorry to hear that. I only had a brief mail exchange with him, but read all of his posts on gnome usability with interest, he was a smart guy and will be missed. Condolences to his family and to all that loved him.

How sad that he died so young, it's just so unfair ...
