          Dear all.<br>
          <br>
          I am very sad to inform everyone that our friend Didier died
          last week.<br>
          <br>
          Early 2015, I asked on the slackware list if brltty could be
          added in the<br>
          installer ; Didier answered promptly that he could do it on <br>
          slint. Afterwards, he worked hard so that slint became as
          accessible as<br>
          possible for visually impaired people.<br>
          <br>
          You all know that all these years, he tried and succeeded to
          answer as<br>
          quickly as possible to our issues and questions.<br>
          <br>
          He will be irreplaceable.<br>
          <br>
          Regards.<br>
