[bksvol-discuss] Re: Extremely sad news to the Bookshare.org community

Katie,

I have been wondering the same thing--if the family has a memorial fund for 
him to which we could contribute, even if it is not for bookshare.org.  We 
can do it, even though we are from all over, if we have an address.  Maybe 
soomeone who is close to him would know what we could do.

Hello Everyone,



This comes as a very big shock. I remember teasing with him when he was on 
the list more when I first got on bookshare. My question is. Is there 
something we as a community can do for his family? Is there something we 
could do for bookshare, something that is needed, by contributing a gift in 
Gustavo name? I realize we are all over the country but with someone who has 
been with Bookshare from close to the beginning, it would be nice.

Importance: High



It is with great regret and sorrow that I inform you that Gustavo Galindo 
passed away suddenly yesterday.  Gustavo was the Site Manager for 
Bookshare.org, and was the foundation of our Bookshare.org team.  He was 
involved in the rapid growth of our collection over the last four years 
through personally approving each book being added.  Gustavo was fierce in 
his dedication to serving people with print impairments while getting it 
right, by taking our commitments to publishers and authors seriously.  He 
had a formidable intellect, and his insights, understanding and sense of 
humor will be sorely missed by our team.



We can honor Gustavo's commitment to access and books by doing our best to 
bring more books to more people with print disabilities around the world.
