I wasn't sure if I should post this or not, but if you ever met Michael you probably remember him. He was a kind soul and helped grow the Python developer community in LA for well over a decade.

In addition to being an excellent engineer and human, Michael was also the definition of a hacker. It feels suitable to share the news here.

He was an incredible person and touched many lives. If you ever got to meet him (in person or online), please share your experiences on his in memoriam page.

Michael was tireless in helping the community. He was relentless in connecting people together and making sure people had a great time. He sought out and encouraged speakers and teachers, like me.

I'm happy to keep his memory in my heart by telling stories about him :-D
