[lugm.org] RIP Shailen Surat

Wed Dec 8 05:07:39 UTC 2010

Actually, I never got the chance to hang around tuxcafe. When
I first went there, It was already closed.

I met selven when he attended MLUG, and Ajay at infotech.

:( i was still in shock since yesterday.
He was among the rare persons that has influenced my life. I remember the days when i still had dialup and downloading sources were tiring for me, specially when it was kde sources, shailen used to download em freely for me then, since he then had tuxcafe, my teen days were mostly spent escaped from college, and hanging out in tuxcafe, i learnt to play quake from shailen, i still remember the memorable pwnage i got from him, 117 against  -7. He had a hell of a personality, a lot of time he used to buy food for all of us at tuxcafe, it was probably from his cyber cafe that i first encounterred ajay and logan. 

He showed me that i can do things my own way, anyway i wish it with the opensource.
All that said, he was always cool, and always worthy of being called a hero!

RIP shailen :(RIP acid420 :(

That's terrible news indeed. Even though I didn't know him much, I met
him twice about 9 years ago and I was quite impressed by the guy too. 

May his soul rest in peace.

        In case you didn't get the initial mail from Ajay,

Shailen Surat passed away on the 4th of December. He was 

out of the ICU, and had returned home. 

Personally, I met him in 2004, and he made a huge impression on

me, and encouraged me to pursue hacking in my spare time.

Words fail me to describe the loss of one of the pioneers of FLOSS

in MU, and most importantly a good friend.
