This episode contains adult themes and therefore parental discretion is advised. Hi everybody, this is Ken Fallon with a special show to remember fellow podcaster, host of the Open Metalcast, Craig Maloney, who passed away on the 2nd of April 2024. I knew Craig through his work on the Open Metalcast, which was a member of the free culture podcast.org website, Creative Commons initiative to get various different podcasters together and he was very supportive of that work because we had Open Metalcast on the list, I was able to bring in a lot of people who were interested in metal, but not necessarily in free culture and introduced them to the concept of what the Creative Commons was for free culture licenses were. I was aware that he was battling cancer, but it still came as a bit of a shock when I saw that post, goodbye to Craig Maloney on David Revoys, Pepper Encourage blog, a contacted David and with his permission I'm going to read you his blog post. Goodbye Craig Maloney published on the 2nd of April 2024, I'm devastated, I learned a few hours ago that Craig Maloney aka C Maloney passed away this morning. Craig had joined the Pepper Encourage project in its early days, almost 10 years ago. We immediately clicked his passion for metal, for retro video games, for creation for free Libra and open source projects and communities are much more. He was involved in testing, reviewing and foolproofing the beta versions of each episode under construction, with pertinence and precision. On several occasions he even saved some rather dull story I wrote, becoming the script doctor for the episodes. He knew the series' universe, the internal logic so well that he became an efficient maintainer and writer of the Peckbar and Carrot Wiki and had Pepper Encourage role playing game project. He also helped with the translation proofreading my front plays and even managed last year's April first blog post. I had absolute trust in Craig. He was one of the few maintainers to have all the project keys and privileges. His moral compass was invaluable for his project and helped us through our moments of community storm analysis. He was the architect of our code of conduct, which he authored in a particular way by gathering and synthesizing the opinions of the contributors. He was one of the two gatekeepers who could kick me out of the project if I crossed the line. With these words I hope to make you realize the massive impact Craig had on Pepper and Carrot, visible on every floor of the series' credits. He will leave a huge void behind him. And not only here, but for the many projects he was involved with. He made the internet a better place. My thoughts and condolences go out to his wife and family. Those who want to talk about it are welcome on our InstaChash or in the comments. And I'll hope he'll excuse me violating the cold of conduct by the end of this. But fuck cancer, I'll miss you Craig. Our owner, Hookah, would like to say a few words now. Hello, this is Hookah for Hacker Public Radio and doing something a little bit different this time. I recently lost a friend, a gentleman named Craig Maloney. I have known Craig for a number of years in a variety of different circumstances. He was the Ubuntu state of Michigan liaison for a number of years. There's probably a specific name for that that I don't remember anymore. I would always see him at Pengwakan. Craig gave me my first Fediverse account, a master on account which I still use. Craig was just someone that, you know, when you needed something, he was there. He organized something called the Michigan users group and kept that going. He's just involved in a lot of things and I always felt like it was great whenever I saw him and his wife, Jody, and I'm very sad that he's not going to be with us anymore. So thank you. Bye. Thanks, Hookah. I would also like to pass on my condolences to Craig's family and friends at this time. I regret not having had the opportunity like a hookah did to get me to Craig in person and actually get to know more about the various different projects he was involved with because he would be somebody that I would have liked to know more in person. It's only after David linked to his blog post that I realized how much other communities Craig was involved with, as well as been a family man. He enjoyed playing drums, making music, juggling, playing with retrocomputers, designing games and reading, collected old computers, and of course, documented his fight with cancer. But he also was author of the Medioch or programmer book for beginning programmers and more advanced programmers. Designed games, he was the host of the local cast about who went to Empython, who was on the board of the Michigan user groups, his co-founder and host of the Royal Oak Coffeehouse Cauldron's group, where pepper and carrots, he maintained toot stream a command line client for a master one. But to me, Craig will always be the host of the open metal cast. So therefore, I think it's only fitting that we end this last episode, open metal cast episode 192, shovels doesn't, over to you Craig. Welcome back to Open Metal Cast, bringing you the best and creative commons license metal music. My name is Craig Maloney, and in this episode, I decided to take the entire open metal cast library for a ride. I'm going to try and get back into a regular schedule of shows, so I threw the whole library into shuffle mode. We'll see what falls out on the other end.
