This is really sad. I'm so sorry to hear this.

  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.
