Shibboleth Developers

Shibboleth Developers,

(Some will already be aware of this; interim Jasig Executive Director 
Patty Gertz also addressed this in announcements at Jasig 2011 last week.)

Adam Rybicki was critically injured in a tragic vehicle-on-bicycle 
collision on April 3rd.  He remains in a long-term care facility where 
it is hoped in time he will make a meaningful recovery.  He was part of 
a group of riders; Adam's injuries are by far the most serious.

The Caring Bridge site where you can read more, follow his progress, and 
leave a note in the guest book for Adam and his family is here:

Adam has done great work with Shibboleth and has added value to this 
open source project.  Besides work in the context of local 
implementations supporting the adoption of Shibboleth, Adam was the lead 
developer on the initial development of the open source Java library for 
making use of the delegated SAML authentication features in Shibboleth 
(a library usable in, e.g., portlets in Shibbolized uPortal.)

I hope you'll join his friends, relatives, co-workers, fellow bicycle 
enthusiasts, and all who know him in wishing Adam healing. Recent posts 
on that Caring Bridge site suggest Adam's already making progress in 
recovery.


Best wishes,

Andrew
