#498 Add a note about jjmcd?

Closed May 4, 2020 by pbokoc. Opened Apr 25, 2020 by bcotton.

@zoglesby suggested and I second the idea of adding a brief note about the passing of jjmcd to the release notes for Fedora 32. John was, for many years, the driving force behind the release notes (and a mentor and friend to many docs contributors). The old repo's stats bear that out.

I would like to point out that we have done this before (and John was a big part of the push for it).

I think this would be a good idea. +1

Dammit, I missed this in my and then had a long weekend.

I'm definitely all for it, especially since it's been done before. I didn't know John very well though, I just occasionally saw his name pop up in git logs etc., so I don't really know what to write - can someone help me out here? Should I reuse what Ben wrote in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jjmcd/Friend ?

@pbokoc feel free to reuse what I wrote. If you want me to come up with some different wording or whatever, I'm happy to contribute, just ping me here or in IRC.
