Remembering Aaron

Aaron Swartz

Aaron Swartz: 1986 – 2013

This week, we lost a technological pioneer and, more importantly, a friend. Aaron Swartz made a profound impact during his short life and now it’s time to honor his contributions.

On Thursday, January 24th, a memorial is being held at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. There are also hackathons being organized around the world in the coming weeks. If you’d like to donate to Aaron’s cause, learn more about his work, or leave a message, please visit Remembering Aaron.

RIP, Aaron. You will be missed.
