Mikeal was an expert collaborator. When we would discuss something, he'd throw out an "impossible idea" and then talk himself into a path by working with a few of the right people. And then he'd set off and do it. Mikeal was a force that defied Newton's 3rd law. He will be missed by many.
We’re deeply saddened to mark the passing of Mikeal Rogers after a courageous fight with cancer.
Mikeal wasn’t just a leader in the open source world. He was a connector, a builder of community, and someone who showed up for others in meaningful ways.
Thank you, Mikeal 💚 hubs.la/Q03s_C7G0
