Long time community member Gary Birkett (lcuk) dies, aged 36
The MWKN Staff is saddened to report on the passing of Gary Birkett (known to many as lcuk) earlier this week. Gary was a great friend to us and - as the outpouring of feelings and memories from the community attests - well known and well regarded within the community in general.
Gary was an enthusiastic developer who burst onto the Maemo scene around the time of the Amsterdam Summit; he made it his mission to create the fastest drawing on the N810 possible. Perhaps Gary's single biggest contribution to the community was onedotzero - a large-scale open collaboration/art project. Recently Gary was known for his MeeGo advocacy and MeeGo CE work. He is survived by his partner Tracy and three sons. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
