The open source community was stunned this week to learn that Ian Murdock, the “ian” in Linux distribution Debian, has died at the age of 42.

There is nothing more permaculture than open source software! I don’t believe that Permaculture is about going back 50 years and I do believe that technology can drag us out of our hole. And certainly open source is the future.
Open source software is about living _with_ the world, and with the community, to its very core!
We all have different strengths and while I don’t know personally of Ian Murdock’s belief system, I think the Permaculture community should include him as a founding member. :-)
Ian Murdock I salute you.
