Surprised, shocked and left wondering what really happened - these are the emotions I (and many others) feel about the passing of Ian Murdock, founder of Debian Linux.
On Monday night, like thousands of others, I saw (and retweeted) some of Ian Murdock's tweets about an alleged police abuse incident, today those tweets and the Murdock's twitter account itself has been deleted. All we know is that Murdock is dead and there is great sorrow in the Linux community at his loss.
