A great loss to our efforts as translators and community. Let us pray for
him and hope that his work will be continued by others with a similar
enthusiasm and dedication.

This is very sad.
He was not only a prolific translator, but a prolific bug reporter, too.
May he rest in peace.

Hi everyone,
One of the most active members of our small translator community and on
this list, Purodha, has passed away, his political party states
<http://www.seidenstadt-piraten.de/2016/08/26/wir-trauern-farewell-purodha/>.
On his Meta talk page, he reported having had a serious health breakdown in
mid-August, but was recovering and even resumed translating. Unfortunately,
his recovery didn't last long. We'll have fewer Ripuarian translations in
the future.
He was active in the German-speaking community and there's a condolences
page on German Wikipedia:
