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 am really sad about this.. because i've talked to him about rhythmbox and his mockups and brought some in myself.. and i think he was very nice to discuss with..

then i read of his illness and was very sad and hoped he would get better.. and after i read in his blog that he is getting out of hospital i was really happy.. so i am shocked that he passed away so soon...

Rest in peace mark i think everyone who only talked to you once will miss you and your ambition..
