Good afternoon, It's been a while since I posted to these list. Please excuse the cross-post, but I thought I'd share what I just read about on Slashdot. It struck me with sadness to learn that one of our early members and contributors, Jeff Kell, passed away on November 25th. Jeff was a member of our IDS community, going back over a decade if not longer. He was active in the Snort lists, the OSSRC attempt, BleedingEdge Snort and EmergingThreats. He was an early adopter of SnortSam and provided valuable feedback. At least those where the areas I knew him from. It's always sad to learn about people and their accomplishments from their obituaries, and Jeff is no exception. I think I've only met him once in person, at one of our annual security conferences in Nashville, and he struck me as a quiet but great guy. The opportunity to have a coffee and talk IT has sadly passed by and is no more. We will miss you, Jeff. Rest in peace and may your work continue to live on. With condolences to family and friends, Frank Slashdot: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/11/28/2316232/creator-of-relay-on-bitnet-predecessor-of-irc-dies 3000 Community Blog: http://3000newswire.blogs.com/3000_newswire/2015/11/3000-community-keystone-jeff-kell-dies.html Chattanoogan Obit: http://www.chattanoogan.com/2015/11/25/313320/Jeffrey-Ralph-Kell.aspx An archived post about Bitnet: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/fred/relay/relhis.html Wiki on Bitnet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITNET_Relay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
