Peter,
I'm glad to see your post here, and to know that you
have a good job. I've thought of you fairly often.
And I agree with you and Carrie about Gustavo's sense
of humor. The exchanges between him and you and Pratik
and Guido preceding the CSUN conference, as well as at
other times, were always fun to read.--And thinking
about that side of Gustavo brings a smile to my face.
His sense of humor and his unflappability in the face
of some of our nagging and criticism, both overt and
subtle, are things I will remember about him.
Cindy

I held off on saying anything about Gustavo in
public prior to an official announcement from
Bookshare. I have, in fact, been in almost daily
contact with Gustavo since leaving Bookshare just
about one year ago. Most recently, I spent a few
days hanging out with him and his partner Mathieu in
Las Vegas in early December. While lots of people
who didn't know him well will make a lot of comments
as to his value to Bookshare, etc. I always found
his forthright manner and scathing wit to be a
breath of fresh air. He was truely one of the good
guys.

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.
