Clytie was my greatest ally, mentor and friend when I founded
Ubuntu-Women in 2006 (unbelievable but time does zoom by!). I can
_never_ forget her help during the initial days with the
administration of this mailing list and the group on Launchpad but
understood why she pulled back for health reasons - I was sorry to see
her go back then and am saddened to hear this tragic news. For me she
was an ideal and mentor and the most perfect supporter of women in
FOSS that one could wish for - Clytie, you will be forever cherished
and missed. RIP.
A very very sad SVAKSHA ॥ http://about.me/svaksha ॥
