Dear Leti, 
On behalf of Botswana Library Consortium and on my own behalf I would like to pass my condolences to Gibson's family and to the DSpace and Open Access family in South Africa and indeed in the far end of the world. Botswana's DSpace and Open Access community has benefited a lot from Gibson's knowledge, skills and experience. May His Soul Find Eternal Peace in The Lord. 
Kind regards, 
Naniki Maphakwane

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.
