The family of Chris has done a  Tribute video on youtube....I'm always wondering how this talent man was able to do all the activities you will see in only one life.

An amazing man. What a miss....

Tomorrow it will be a really sad day, one year that we miss Chris... so long old chap

[guest22]

I was thinking the exact same thing. That date was on my mind...

[ReetP]

A very sad day indeed.

FWIW he wouldn't want us sitting around moping - he'd want us to make sure SME survives and be getting on with getting new releases out etc.

Our best tribute to him is to make sure that happens.

Just an idea: maybe the best way for us to keep Chris' memory alive is by dedicating every 11th of June as a "Chris' Koozali bug hunting day" (or something similar). Several weeks/days prior to this date we could post the necessary messages asking for as many people as possible to join the effort of finding, solving and verifying as many bugs as possible. 

[ReetP]

Bug hunting indeed.

Right now we need testing and verifications to convert the current Betas.

Anyone who wants to pay their respects can launch in tomorrow.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated....

I'm still so impressed that someone so lively brought us a part of his (developed) legacy for our solutions needed in the future.
As you put the youtube contribute video, and the final product SME together it's a really nice mixture of good influences and unselfish hard work that make this product unique. And thereby of course keep me motivated for contributing and participating in the nearby future.

Thanks Chris... RIP

Hi notime4u, welcome here

I hope to see here around.. about contributing, are you thinking about a donation, being involved or both of them?

[notime4u]

I have my own IT company, so if this product is going to help me and my customers  in raising the value of iT quality than I will definitly make a donation. But I'm hoping thru my busy schedule to post some support or bug related topics as well.

[Stefano]

you are welcome in any case.. SME is a rock solid product, but it can be improved with everybody's help
