I am sorry to hear that Ferris has passed away. I found him to be a very kind and thoughtful person. He did some good work in helping get the Gentoo Foundation back on track, which I sincerely appreciate. He was an asset to the project, and a genuinely nice guy.

That's sad news for the foundation, for gentoo and more importantly for all those who knew him. I always appreciated (silently) his calm advice in this spheres.

Sad news yes... I did not know him personnally but from his posts on the MLs, he really seemed like a calm and competent person. We will miss him, and our thoughts should go to his family. R.I.P. |

I do really feel the same, we spend some time arguing details in the previous council, not always we reached an agreement indeed ^^
He did a lot for everybody.
He will be missed sorely
