[IRTalk] Hilton Gibson passed away

[Leti Kleyn]

Dear IR Community member,
 
it is with great regret that I have to inform you that our Open Access colleague, Hilton Gibson, passed away this morning after a struggle with pancreatic cancer.
 
Hilton was know for his irreplaceable contribution to the DSpace and Open Access community in South African and the African continent at large.
 
Regards
Leti Kleyn
