[From: chemist]

Dear Maemo Community,
 
It is with great sadness and regret that we have to inform you that Gido Griese
(Win7Mac), a valuable member of the Maemo Community e.V., unexpectedly passed
away last week.
 
Gido, aged 44, was a talented cameraman and producer well known to the
commercials scene, filming and producing image commercials and feature films. To
us he was known as an integral part of the community's backbone. He not only
served as a Councilor and Director but was most of all a driving force to bring
us where we are now. 
 
We spent hours talking on the phone the last couple of years, bringing this
community together, building the groundworks, the foundation that this community
can survive on. The Maemo Community registered association was largely Gido's
brainchild as he was the author of our charter and guided us in making the dream
come true. Gido was a generous person always willing to help others without
asking for anything in return, connecting people, being a friend.
 
The memorial service will be held in Hamburg this Saturday 15:00CET, so please
let me know if you are able to attend in person and I will provide you with the
address and notify his family about the attendees.
 
In moaning and honouring remembrance
Rüdiger Schiller
