I have just received the shocking news that Dan Williams, a longtime,
high-profile kernel developer, has passed away.  I knew him primarily
through his long service on the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board;
he was always a strong, thoughtful, and intelligent presence.  Dan will be
deeply missed.

There is a support
effort underway for Dan's family as they come to terms with this loss.
