Adding Jeff Kell with Patrick Harper, the people that have made Snort a
community.

Sorry to hear.

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
