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

Mark was a truely inspirational guy who contributed so much to Open Source projects and was excelling in his first term at University. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. He will be sorely missed.
