[offtopic] Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams

[Arthur Pemberton]

Hi guys,

I apologize ahead of time for the offtopic nature of this thread, and
if desired, I will cease any continuation. Threads over on
fedora-extras-list have brought my attention to the e-dissappearance
of one "Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams".

This guy has helped me out many times over of #fedora, and was always
online, despite me changing time zone twice - to the point where I
asked if he was a bot. He seemed to have also had a large load in
package maintaince. Fedora being partly about the community, I have to
ask: does anyone know what happened to this guy? His online presence
seems to have simply ceased as of May-2006. I searched Gmail for
emails from him, the last was in May. His blog
(http://www.ivazquez.net) seems also to have gone quiet as of May.

Just felt that the guy has helped me enough to at least care if he
suddenly died or something.

Peace.

I agree. Any Canadians living near brampton, ONT who could maybe hunt
him down a bit?

There's a phone number in the whois info for the blog site. I don't feel
like I know him personally well enough to be comfortable calling, but maybe
someone (either who knows him better, or who is more extroverted) would like
to try?

Well, it could be just an intentionally bad data for the whois database.

It's possible, although public records sites return the same number

postmaster or the property owner would notice something amiss.

Brampton is close to Toronto where I live but I don't quite know what
hunting him down would entail :)

A grep of my IRC logs shows that he was in IRC at least until:

FreeNode (formerly OpenProjects.net)-#fedora-x.log:Apr 24 12:39:27 <--
ignacio (n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio) has left #fedora-x

All dates are in 2006.

Haven't seen him anywhere since. Googling for his name doesn't appear
to show anything more recent either.

Is it safe to say that this guy has gone to a better place? Even his

domain has expired now.

I've done some investigative work, but I'm afraid unless he announces
himself, we won't be able to find anything out.

I've used the whitepages to look up his last known address, and then
called a few neighbours on the same street. It seems that the house
was owned by someone else, who was renting out an apartment -- I'm
guessing Ignacio was their tenant. According to one of the neighbours,
earlier this year the house went for sale, and the old owner moved
elsewhere -- Ignacio probably also had to move at that point.

Sadly, that's where the trail ends. I called the Bampton police
department, but they have no records for Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, so if
anything happened to him, it must have happened outside of Brampton. I
guess we can call the Toronto police department, but I doubt they
would be as helpful as Brampton's.

There you have it, folks. Let's hope he's just been busy with life,
since we have no reason to believe otherwise.

Cheers,

[seth vidal]

Unfortuntely, I'm not agree with you...
As Ignacio was a big contributor in Fedora, I think that if he was busy in
life, he would have told us "I'm busy and I can't contribute any more for the
moment" and he disappeared without telling us anything.
So, I think we have to expect the worst... Sorry.

If someboby could investigate far....

As Ignacio was a big contributor in Fedora, I think that if he was busy in
life, he would have told us "I'm busy and I can't contribute any more for the
moment" and he disappeared without telling us anything.
So, I think we have to expect the worst... Sorry.
If someboby could investigate far....

Perhaps someone should sum up his contributions and give him thanks in
the next Fedora Weekly News? Who was he, how he made a difference,
and what finally happened to him.

There you have it, folks. Let's hope he's just been busy with life,
since we have no reason to believe otherwise.

Unfortuntely, I'm not agree with you...

Plus, he let his personal-name domain name expire. That's surprising
behavior from anyone geeky enough to be that big of a contributor to Fedora.

Is it safe to say that this guy has gone to a better place? Even his
domain has expired now.

I've done some investigative work, but I'm afraid unless he announces
himself, we won't be able to find anything out.
I've used the whitepages to look up his last known address, and then
called a few neighbours on the same street. It seems that the house
was owned by someone else, who was renting out an apartment -- I'm
guessing Ignacio was their tenant. According to one of the neighbours,
earlier this year the house went for sale, and the old owner moved
elsewhere -- Ignacio probably also had to move at that point.
Sadly, that's where the trail ends. I called the Bampton police
department, but they have no records for Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, so if
anything happened to him, it must have happened outside of Brampton. I
guess we can call the Toronto police department, but I doubt they
would be as helpful as Brampton's.
There you have it, folks. Let's hope he's just been busy with life,
since we have no reason to believe otherwise.
Cheers,

Has anyone tried to snail mail his last known mailing address? He might
be having his mail forwarded. Just a thought.

I found a secondary mail address for him: ignacio at fastmail.ca
I sent him an email just a few minutes ago. If I hear anything back,
or it bounces, I'll pass along the info.

Thank you for looking into it as much as you did. It's appreciated.

Hi guys,
I apologize ahead of time for the offtopic nature of this thread, and
if desired, I will cease any continuation. Threads over on
fedora-extras-list have brought my attention to the e-dissappearance
of one "Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams".
This guy has helped me out many times over of #fedora, and was always
online, despite me changing time zone twice - to the point where I
asked if he was a bot. He seemed to have also had a large load in
package maintaince. Fedora being partly about the community, I have to
ask: does anyone know what happened to this guy? His online presence
seems to have simply ceased as of May-2006. I searched Gmail for
emails from him, the last was in May. His blog
(http://www.ivazquez.net) seems also to have gone quiet as of May.
Just felt that the guy has helped me enough to at least care if he
suddenly died or something.
Peace.
