It is with sadness that I share the news that Dion Gillard died on 25
September.

Dion was active in a number of Commons projects, including JEXL, Jelly
and Commons HttpClient (now part of Apache HttpComponents). He also made
contributions to Maven in the past. He became a member of the Apache
Software Foundation in 2003.

His funeral will be at 10am Eastern Australian Time on Wednesday 1st
October.

A page has been created about him on the new ASF Memorials pages:
http://www.apache.org/memorials/dion_gillard.html

I would like to encourage those that knew him to add further comments to
this page, such that the link can be given to his family around the time
of his funeral. Please mail any comments directly to me and I will add
them promptly.

Pages have also been created for Maurice Marrink, Nicolas Chalumeau and
Martin Pöschl at http://www.apache.org/memorials/. If you would like to
add comments to their pages, please send them to me.

With sadness,

Upayavira
