Supporting sympathies.

C# coding is an international language and he certainly was one of its talented poets .

 It is
 with great sadness that I inform you that one of the oldest
 and most respected members of this community, Latif Kalifa,
 has passed away, after a long battle with a serious health
 condition that landed him in the hospital many times over
 the past few years.
 
 
 
 Latif's contributions to the open source SL ecosystem
 were vast and varied. He was one of the original
 contributors, and the main maintainer, of libOMV, a library
 that embodies the LL protocol and data structures. LibOMV
 lies at the heart of OpenSimulator, as well as many
 SL/OpenSim bots developed by lots of people. Latif also
 developed Radegast, an alternative viewer used by many,
 especially people with disabilities. He also contributed to
 the Singularity viewer and its offshoot, Replex. He
 participated in the SL Architecture Working Group, and in
 many technical discussions in the OpenSim-dev IRC chat
 channel. He was a vocal advocate of free open source
 software.
 
 
 
 We don't necessarily know who Latif was in real life,
 what he did for a living, or who is family and loved ones
 are. That's one of the consequences of being part of
 world-wide online communities, where we interact only with
 virtual representations of real people, often using
 pseudonyms. But it was clear to everyone who interacted with
 him that his spirit was strong and that his heart, wherever
 in the world he lived, was in the right place. Open source
 software exists because of people like him.
 
 
 
 His code will outlive him.
 
 He will be missed.
