Today the world has lost a light 😢 Rob was a good friend and amazing human being. His passion for open communities, open data and music was infectious and unmatched. If you have never had a chance to meet Rob, please take a moment to read these two pieces by him to understand the difference he made in the world:
* his essay in Open Advice about how not to start a community: http://open-advice.org
* the story about using a cake to get your project paid by Big Tech: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2013/12/05/using-cakes-for-social-engineering/
