<DIV>Dear IR Community member,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hilton was know for his irreplaceable contribution to the DSpace and Open Access community in South African and the African continent at large.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
