I woke up today to the sad news of Bram Moolennar passing away.
His GPL-compatible, charityware contribution to the OSS and system admininstration can never be overestimated.
His longstanding commitment and support for the iccf-holland.org is a testament of the charitable and humanitarian nature of his soul.
My condolences to his family and friends.
He will be greatly missed, by many.
May his soul rest in peace.
