From the FOSS.IN website

Kenneth Gonsalves, known to the FOSS world as “lawgon”, passed away on 03-Aug-2012.

This is a huge loss to the Indian FOSS community, a cause he had always championed. And it is a particularly great loss to the python development community, where he played a role both as a champion and as a developer and teacher.

He, and his never-tiring voice that rose above everything else and was always heard, will be missed greatly.

Goodbye, lawgon. Wherever you are now – I am sure that you are keeping people on their toes, the way you did with me for the decade that I knew you. — Atul
