From the Ubuntu Discourse instance comes the
sad news that longtime Debian and Ubuntu contributor Steve Langasek has
passed away.

Steve passed away at the dawn of 2025. His time was short but
remarkable. He will forever remain an inspiration. Judging by the
outpouring of feelings this week, he is equally missed and mourned
by colleagues and friends across the open source landscape, in
particular in Ubuntu and Debian where he was a great mind, mentor
and conscience.
