Howdy all,

I wrote up a little RIP page with some pictures and video from Pd cons 2011 and 2016. A unique member of the community indeed:

Ed Kelly and I bonded over computer music and a silly sense of humor. Although I only hung out with him a few times in person and we mainly communicated online over the years, it felt like I had always known him. I know things were not always easy for him, but he would push through with creative energy. He will be missed in the Pure Data community, through which I met him. Condolences to his friends and family in the UK and around the world.

@Alex: Is there a condolences page to write to, specifically not on Facebook, etc? Maybe we can all write something to show his touch beyond in-person relationships.

It's a great shame, I remember him with great joy, I still remember the
anecdote about the dog. A great guy.
:/
Jos?

@Jos?: What was the anecdote?

Tehomas Bow on facebook gave us the bad news. He had a stroke and fell, got
injured and passed away this friday. He leaves us soon, just before turning
50. Ed was quite a fun character, I loved him, he'll be missed. Rest in
Peace.
