Kris would like as many people who knew Cameron along as possible. If you think you can make it, email arkady@arkady.org.uk to RSVP, for directions, etc. The chapel fits 35-40, but if you want to come there will almost certainly be room for you. Just RSVP :-) The cause of death turned out to be pulmonary thrombosis - the sort of thing that could happen to anyone, but Cam was at higher risk because of his illnesses. In good news, Kris is OK to stay in the UK :-) But speaking for myself, I suspect she could do with some of your overpaid geek bucks to help in the short term, with living expenses and the funeral! See http://www.dbsi.org/cam.html for full details. And I didn't say on the message below, but please do forward this to anywhere in the FreeBSD community you think people should know! - d.
