Mourning Nóirín Plunkett Here are a couple sad notes from the
Ada Initiative and the Apache Software
Foundation on the abrupt passing of Nóirín Plunkett. " Throughout
Nóirín's time at the Foundation she was an Apache httpd contributor, ASF
board member, VP and ApacheCon organizer. Nóirín's passionate contributions
and warm personality will be sorely missed. Many considered Nóirín a friend
and viewed Nóirín's work to improving 'Women in Technology' as a great
contribution to this cause." | | 4:35p |
