I didn’t get a chance to know Dave personally, but sincerely appreciated his insight and technical efforts, as well as the way he just seemed to put out joy in so many forms. I have said multiple times that these listservs have some of the highest quality networking discussion out there, and I think this is in no small part a testament to Dave’s ability to bring people together and get them talking. I would certainly be willing to help support or volunteer effort to keep these listservs running. > On Apr 1, 2025, at 18:21, David Lang via Starlink wrote: > > He will be missed. > > As a practical question, what is going to happen to all of these lists, etc that he has been hosting? > > David Lang > > On Tue, 1 Apr 2025, Frantisek Borsik via Bloat wrote: > >> Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 19:27:36 +0200 >> From: Frantisek Borsik via Bloat > >> Reply-To: Frantisek Borsik > >> To: libreqos >, >> bloat >, >> Dave Taht via Starlink >, >> Jeremy Austin via Rpm >, >> bloat-ietf@lists.bufferbloat.net , Cake List >, >> codel@lists.bufferbloat.net , cerowrt-commits@lists.bufferbloat.net , >> cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net , cerowrt-users@lists.bufferbloat.net , >> codel-wireless@lists.bufferbloat.net , >> Make-Wifi-fast >, >> Network Neutrality is back!
