(21) Wed May 14 2008 19:10 In Memoriam Joachim Schmitz:

This is a rather unusual blog entry. I sincerely hope I don't have to write blog entries like this very often. I usually write about technology, and the community surrounding it. This community is, of course, composed of people. Yesterday I heard that Joachim Schmitz, long-standing member of the Zope and Python communities, had died suddenly last weekend. He was a regular presence at Zope-related events, and I have met him often. I feel that his passing should not go without notice for people in our community who knew him and met him.

My friend Lennart's blog entry Zope 3 rocks and rolls is fascinating, not least as it has one of the most misleading titles I've ever seen. Reading that title, you'd be surprised Lennart talks mostly about a series of difficulties encountered with Zope 3 and decision to switch to Plone for a project instead.
