One of the magical things about open source is the tremendous and positive impact that a single individual can have on a community. It is equally tragic when we lose one of those people, and it is with great sadness that we announce the loss of Graham Bloice.
Graham was a longtime contributor to Wireshark and its community. He was a talented developer and was instrumental in getting Wireshark up and running on Windows. However, his contributions went well beyond writing code. He generously shared his knowledge with our users and developers, both online and in person at SharkFest. Graham was also a vocal advocate for the project itself and his advice and encouragement was instrumental in getting the Wireshark Foundation up and running.
Our hearts go out to his wife Linda and to their family in this time of loss. He was a dear friend and will be sorely missed.
