Having worked with all of the founders of SecureDrop (Aaron, James, and Kevin) to audit the alpha version it was tough to see Aaron go. Also super sad that we lost James a couple of years later too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dolan_(computer_security...

Cheers to everybody out there working on Internet freedom software. Thank you all for everything you do, next time you're at FOSDEM or browsing around some issues on github for your fav secure comms projects, let them know they are appreciated and they aren't doing this difficult work in a vacuum.

Some years ago I prepared a (very short) list of people whom I want my future kids to know about. The first name I put down was Aaron's.
i would like to hear about that list. I have a one year old daughter, and i want her to know the good people.
Currently I have the ones that passed away during my adulthood that made a big impact in me:

- Aaron Swartz - Carl Sagan - Stephen Hawking - Paul Allen
