We have received the
sad news that Dr. Mel Chua has passed away. Mel was probably best
known in the free-software community as a contributor to the Fedora
Project in its early days. The Fedora Community blog honored
Mel recently after she had moved to hospice care with tributes
from several Fedorans. Stephen Jacobs wrote:

I can’t find the words to express how much of a positive impact Mel
has had on my work, our shared work, my family, the experiences of my
students, and the world of FOSS writ large. Nor can I find the words
to convey just how much I will miss her.

Mel will be greatly missed.
