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 โ€” an annual event to celebrate Aaron Swartzโ€™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! ๐Ÿ’œ

@BhavanaVarun @Lawandemotions and I am in tears. Again. Every time I think of Aaron.

@Lawandemotions @BhavanaVarun sigh. Went to the memorial screening in SF a few years back. Every single person in the audience was crying.
@ashwink @Lawandemotions He'll be missed forever! His deeds and legacy stands tall. In our hearts and our actions, he'll be always with us. ๐Ÿ’œ
@BhavanaVarun @ashwink @Lawandemotions Spoke to him on email multiple times on long threads. arranged his live remote talk once in NIT Calicut. We almost planned an India visit too , but couldn't materialize. A big loss
@anivar @BhavanaVarun @Lawandemotions I cannot get over the simplicity of the code in web.py. Like poetry.
