I've mostly been silent about the loss of Adrianne and Cindy publicly, because I've mostly not had any idea what to say.  I'd been working with both on various projects for quite a while, and had a multi-hour skype call with Adrianne in the recent past about the gendergap and education outreach efforts.  I've rarely met a Wikimedian as passionate about making the world a better place than Adrianne.  Cindy and Adrianne will both be terribly, terribly missed.  I wish I had the eloquence that has been put forth by other people in various places, but right now a large part of me is still just trying to process.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. My condolences go to whoever knew her -
online or in real life.

There is no IGLU Cabal. The problem of founding an IGLU Cabal has been proven,
in a surprise move, to be equivalent to the question of the existence of God,
fully‐tolerant religions and NP‐complete oracles.   — Omer Zak
