Hey sudo room fam,
Today would have been Marcus's birthday. 🎂 He was a longtime part of this
community, and I wanted to personally reach out because I know how many of
you were touched by his presence here — whether through late-night hacking
sessions, shared meals, or just his particular way of making a room feel a
little warmer.
This Saturday, July 25th, we're gathering to celebrate his life:
-
*10 AM–12 PM* — Garden gathering at OPC
<https://partiful.com/e/bb0nooADB0GCcBRJTbxZ?focus=invite>, honoring
Marcus in a living, growing way
-
*1–3 PM* — Celebration of Life
<https://partiful.com/e/yhhvpHA2nQ0MhJGMSwLk> at the Omni Commons
Ballroom
If you knew Marcus, please come if you can — and if you can't make it in
person, please consider sharing a memory, photo, or video on the tribute
site:
https://online-tribute.com/marcuszamani. His family would treasure
hearing how he showed up in this space specifically.
We're also looking for hands to help with setup, outreach, costs and day-of
logistics — reply here or message me or jenny directly if you can lend even
a little time this week, whether as a friend or ally or otherwise.
Marcus gave a lot to this room. This is a small chance to give some of that
back to him and his family.
With love,
ajay
