Seth Vidal RIP
The Daily Durham site is reporting that Fedora developer Seth Vidal has been killed in a hit-and-run accident. Seth was perhaps best known as the creator of the "Yum" package management system; he will be much missed in the community.

Update: see also this note from Fedora project leader Robyn Bergeron. "To say he will be missed is an understatement. He has been a colleague, a team member, a source of wisdom and advice, and above all, a friend and inspiration to countless people in the Fedora community over the past decade. His seminal and invaluable work in Fedora and free software will live on for years to come, and the legacy of his spirit will stay with the community, and with many of us individually, forever."
