The GDB project mourns the loss of the following long-time contributors:
@table @code
@item Fred Fish
Fred was a long-standing contributor to GDB (1991-2006), and to Free
Software in general. Outside of GDB, he was known in the Amiga world
for his series of Fish Disks, and the GeekGadget project.
@item Michael Snyder
Michael was one of the Global Maintainers of the GDB project, with
contributions recorded as early as 1996, until 2011. In addition to
his day to day participation, he was a large driving force behind
adding Reverse Debugging to GDB.
@end table
Beyond their technical contributions to the project, they were also
enjoyable members of the Free Software Community. We will miss them.
