We have received the sad news that Didier Spaier, maintainer of theblind-friendly Slackware-based Slint distribution, has recently passedaway. Philippe Delavalade, who posted the announcement to theSlint mailing list, said:

Early 2015, I asked on the slackware list if brltty could be addedin the installer; Didier answered promptly that he could do it onslint. Afterwards, he worked hard so that slint became as accessibleas possible for visually impaired people.

You all know that all these years, he tried and succeeded to answeras quickly as possible to our issues and questions.

He will be irreplaceable.
