Re: [orca-list] Jos Lemmens passed away on November 9, 2021

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

If memory serves, he also wrote a screen reader for the Linux console 
called screader that was based on GNU Screen (probably back in the 90s). 
There may be other Linux-related contributions as well that haven't been 
noted here.

I fully concur with the sentiments that have been expressed eloquently 
by other contributors to this discussion.
