Itojun Hagino

One of the two persons that passed away lately was my dear friend Itojun Hagino. He passed away on Oct 29, 37 years old. He has been working with specifically IPv6 implementations in various operating systems and his website is up – hopefully forever.

I had the pleasure to work together with Itojun as a member of the IAB between 2003 and 2005, and part from that at numerous occasions. We also chatted quite often, up until just recently. You can find information on the great work Itojun has done for example at IIJ.

My thoughts go with his family, and workers at WIDE specifically that I know was like a second family for him.

Thanks for everything Itojun!

Updated: I found the photographer of the great photo I have included in this blog post. It is Diane Bruce, also well known in the BSD community.
