The Debian Project mourns the sudden passing of our fellow developer and
friend, Peter De Schrijver.

Many of us knew Peter as a very helpful and dedicated person and we
valued his contributions to our project and the Linux community.

Peter was a regular and familiar face in many conferences and meets
across the world.

Peter was highly regarded for his technical expertise in problem solving
and for his willingness to share that knowledge. When asked "what are
you working on?", Peter would often take the time to explain something
you thought was extremely complicated understandably, or show you in-
person his high technical proficiency in action on such tasks as
translating a disassembled binary into C source code.

Peter's work, ideals, and memory leave a remarkable legacy and a loss
that is felt around the world not only in the many communities he
interacted with but in those he inspired and touched as well.

Our thoughts are with his family.
