Ian Lynch information needed
We would very much like to include a tribute page for Ian Lynch on the
ASF Memorials page: http://www.apache.org/memorials/
As I never had the pleasure of working with him, I could only cull our
mailing lists and other OpenOffice online information concerning his
participation in OpenOffice. But, I would very much like to include more
detailed information on his work with the Schools/Education project, and
with Marketing, and I know some of you were more involved in some of
these projects with him.
Thank you for your help with this. I'm hoping we can finalize this by
this coming Sunday pm.

unfortunately, I cannot help with much information.
I only know that he worked on the certification process. People get
trainings on OpenOffice modules and can earn a verification of their
learning in the form of a certificate.
Maybe this is valuable to be added in 1-2 sentences to the memorial text.

Hi Andrea, I didn't get the chance to read the memorial until now, I most
say is a great piece. However they omit a big part of his life which was
his professional one. As his linkedin page says (
https://uk.linkedin.com/pub/ian-lynch/0/a88/bb2) he was a Registered
Inspector of schools accredited by Office for Standards in Education, and a
lifetime educator in the British school system.
I can understand that maybe the goal is not to be too acurate, and on a
lighter note, he was a very good Ruby player and missed going to the 2010
OpenOffice.org Conference in Slovenia due to a broken leg.

revision attached.

IMHO this is one of the seldom events when a native speaker should write
the text, so thanks for taking over this. It reads very good and
everybody will know what Ian has done and stands for.

Attached please find changes for /memorials/index.html and an entry for
Ian Lynch. I added the ".txt" extension because I didn't know what
enzlym would do with ".mdtext".

Thanks a lot for this. I recommend that the entire past thread on this
dev list is scanned for information, since we already have some material:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40openoffice.apache.org/msg24780.html
As for me, I can only restate that I never had the occasion to be in
personal contact with Ian, unfortunately. But I believe we can come up
with a short text like the others in that section, for example
http://www.apache.org/memorials/bruce_atherton.html
and remember Ian this way.
I will commit the page if you send the final text here.
Regards,
Andrea.

Beside what I already mention on my previous email. I would like to
suggest, althought they are no longer in the community maybe Daniel Carrera
and Manfred Reiter could share some of the information about Ian and the
work he was involved with. I am cc them on this email.
