With my heartfelt condolence, I'd like to inform you all the unfortunate demise of Mr.Kenneth Gonsalves (KG - law...@thenilgiris.com), who was a strong advocate of Python, Django and Free Software in India.
He had served as the President of IPSS(Indian Python Software Society), which initiated the PyCon India, done a lot of workshops on Python and was an active member in the Django user group.

RIP, Kenneth.

He was one of the primary contributors to this list and his
contributions will be missed.

Condolences go out to all of his friends and family.

Ah jeez... he was a good guy too, always keen to help others - really sorry to hear this news.

Another harsh reminder on just how short and precious our time in this life really is :/

don't have to check the list to remember him as a very positive
presence.

That's a shock. He was a valued contributor to this list and to the Django community in general. Please pass on condolences to his family and friends.
