    The Debian Project mourns the loss of Robert Lemmen,
    Karl Rammer and Rogério Theodoro de Brito press@debian.org August 12th, 2021 https://www.debian.org/News/2021/20210812 ------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The Debian Project has lost several members of its community in the last
    year.

    In June 2020, Robert Lemmen passed away after a serious illness. Robert
    had been regularly attending the Debian Munich meetups since the early
    00s and helped with local booths. He had been a Debian Developer since
    2007. Among other contributions, he packaged modules for Raku (Perl6 at
    that time) and helped other contributors to get involved in the Raku
    Team. He also put effort into tracking down circular dependencies in
    Debian.

    Karl Rammer passed away in June 2020, after complications due to
    metastatic colon cancer. He had been a Debian Developer since 2001 and
    packaged several components of MIT's Project Athena [1]. He was
    passionate about technology and Debian, and always interested in helping
    others to find and promote their passions.

    In April 2021, we lost Rogério Theodoro de Brito due to the COVID-19
    pandemic. Rogério enjoyed coding small tools and had been a Debian
    contributor for more than 15 years. Among other projects, he contributed
    toward the use of Kurobox/Linkstation devices in Debian and maintained
    the youtube-dl tool. He also participated and was "Debian contact" in
    several upstream projects.

    The Debian Project honors Robert, Karl and Rogerio's good work and
    strong dedication to Debian and Free Software. Their contributions will
    not be forgotten, and the high standards of their work will continue to
    serve as an inspiration to others.

    Ramm's surname, what we terribly regret. Below you can find the correct
