Don't worry Kevin, we're in conversation with the Archive, Aaron's family
and others organizing memorials in New York and Boston. We haven't set a
date yet, but it was always going to be after shiva (not quite as long as
Nov 24, as I managed to say on the twitter, but we'll correct that)

I personally think a hackathon would be a great way to honor Aaron's
passing. We have a techno-activism meeting on Monday in the space, which
people are welcome to come and help with the discussion. It won't be a
hackathon, but I'm pretty much sure it will be dominated by talk of Aaron
and our thoughts.

I'm on the plane to Aaron's funeral now. Shannon is the person to talk to
about co-ordination.
