Greg Newby (@gbnewby), CEO of PGLAF and driving force behind Project Gutenberg since 1991, has been diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer. For over 30 years, he has guided PG, supported volunteers, and helped launch Distributed Proofreaders, now PG’s main source of new eBooks. Since Michael Hart’s passing in 2011, Greg has kept the project thriving. Friends, family, and the PG community send him strength, prayers, and gratitude for his lasting contributions.
This is just gut-wrenching!
I know @gbnewby from his time as CTO of #ComputeCanada during a time where we went from having thirty-plus #HPC clusters of various sizes in >20 data centres to having only four big systems in as many data centres.
My thoughts go out to Greg and his family and I wish them all the strength they need in such a difficult time!
