Aaron Swartz. Born on this day! November 8, 1986. He would have been 33 today.

November 9 will be observed all over the world as Aaron Swartz Day — an annual event to celebrate Aaron Swartz’s legacy as an activist, programmer, entrepreneur & political organizer.

Hackathons would be organised, where diverse & passionate folks would gather & exchange ideas with each other, who believe in Freedom of #Information & #Education and Securing Digital Space for all.

Remember 9th November! 💜

@Lawandemotions @BhavanaVarun sigh. Went to the memorial screening in SF a few years back. Every single person in the audience was crying.

@anivar @BhavanaVarun @Lawandemotions I cannot get over the simplicity of the code in web.py. Like poetry.
