I feel so sorry about hearing these news. I didnt see him personally, but it's quite sad to know a ReactOS Community member (dev,tester,follower) has passed away. At least "one piece of his soul will be forever among us, in the ReactOS code" I propose to dedicate the next release, the PI one (0.3.14), to Ge Van Geldorp adding a small sentence remembering him in the boot logo. Feeling so sad, rest in peace , Victor.

Hi all,
I write this mail with great sadness, but I've recently been informed that Ge Van Geldorp, one of the original and important contributers to the ReactOS project has recently passed away. Having met up with him personally, I can say with some confidence that he was not only blessed with an impressive skill in the hobby / industry we all love, but was also a man of great integrity.
Being one of my original mentors in reactos, and having spent time busting our guts at various linux projects with him trying to convince the unix fanatics of the merits of NT, I can assure you that this he was both a great colleague and friend. I'm sure all the old school reactos devs would more than agree.
I propose we have some sort of eulogy on our homepage. I'd be more than willing to compose something. If people would like to send their thoughts, wishes or memories, I'd be more than happy to compile them.
Ged.
