I'm so surprised to see this thread pop up, I have also been thinking of Gary today. Actually, I had just finished watching some of his youtube videos, clicked back on maemo.org, and your post came up abill_uk.

What made me think of him today was at lunch time I was looking over the coding competition donations, and I remembered back to the very first competition. Gary was the first guy to pledge a donation, actually before we were even collecting donations. He was a generous soul, with boundless enthusiasm and very very talented.

This will be the first coding competition after Gary passed on. On the bus home from work today I had thought about donating a 'lcuk award' to the competition on behalf of his memory but he seemed quite a humble guy, Im not sure if it would fit right. In the end I've decided to match his original donation on behalf of his memory.

Whether his spirit is at the Nokia research centre or flying around the universe, I hope he can feel how appreciated we were of him and that he is still very much a part of our community.
