A tribute to James Dolan, co-creator of SecureDrop

Freedom of the Press Foundation has atribute to James Dolan, who died over the holidays at the age of 36. James worked with Aaron Swartz and journalistKevin Poulsen to build the original prototype of SecureDrop, an open-source whistleblowersubmission system. "He was our first full-time employee at Freedom ofthe Press Foundation, and quickly set out to teach other developers,contributors, and anyone interested in how the system worked. He poured hisheart and soul into the work, traveling to newsrooms around North Americato teach IT staffs and journalists in person how to install and useSecureDrop. He completely reworked the installation process, he pushed usto get independent security audits of the system, and he helped us hire theinitial team that would take over SecureDrop once he was gone." LWN covered a LibrePlanet talk on SecureDrop back in March 2017.(Thanks to Paul Wise)
