Lyz, thanks for letting us know.

Many of us knew Chris from his great involvement in
Linux User Groups (LUGs), e.g. BerkeleyLUG.com,
and his great useful advocacy of Open Source and Linux,
or his AC Transit or ham radio activities, etc.
Always a very friendly practical helpful resource,
in so many ways.  Also highly knowledgeable on so many matters of
AC Transit and public transportation and related matters much more
generally too.  He certainly shall be missed.

I'll pass along the information to at least some relevant LUGs (
CABAL (Conspire list on linuxmafia.com)
SF-LUG.org
BALUG.org ("Talk" list, and when the "Announce" has it's next send,
include brief mention and link to the "Talk" posting))
