Always willing to<br>help, and without him – LibreQoS (and the other QoE solutions out there)<br>wouldn’t exist.<br><br>Dave was an inspiration, and we all miss him. We’re reaching out to family<br>and close friends to see if there’s anything we can do to help.<br><br>Dave was an inspiration to us. Dave’s contributions to Linux, FQ-CoDel, and<br>CAKE improved internet connectivity around the world for millions of<br>people. Because of him, millions of people now have access to reliable<br>video calls – and in turn, access to loved ones, healthcare, and community.<br>One of Robert’s ISP customers is a kind paraplegic woman who lives in a<br>far-flung rural Colonia around El Paso, Texas. Her reliable access to her<br>doctors through telemedicine, and to her family through FaceTime, was only<br>made possible because of his algorithms. There are millions of cases like<br>hers, where Dave’s contributions have silently enabled human connection and<br>safety. Everything Dave contributed to the world of technology was free and<br>open source, for the betterment of humanity.<br><br>Dave is the reason that Starlink was able to tackle its latency issues –<br>enabling a generation of young entrepreneurs across the developing world,<br>such as these young folks pictured in the Phillipines, to start their own<br>ISPs to expand internet access to their communities. Dave started work on<br>FQ-CoDel in part because of his own journey working to expand internet<br>access in Nicaragua, so we know he saw that his work had come full-circle<br>and helped so many.<br><br>We’re incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as<br>someone who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better<br>for each other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen.<br>He will be dearly missed.<br><br>*PS: *Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in<br>production!<br><br>*https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684<br><<a href="https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684">https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/pull/684</a>>*<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Frank<br><br>Frantisek (Frank) Borsik<br><br><br><br>https://www.linkedin.com/in/frantisekborsik<br><br>Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp: +421919416714<br><br>iMessage, mobile: +420775230885<br><br>Skype: casioa5302ca<br><br>frantisek.borsik@gmail.com<br></blockquote><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
