> <h2>Dedication</h2>
>
> <p>Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q> is dedicated to Thiemo Seufer, a Debian Developer who
> died on December 26th, 2008 in a tragic car accident.
> Thiemo was involved in Debian in many ways. He has maintained several
> packages and was the main supporter of the Debian port to the MIPS
> architectures. He was also a member of our kernel team, as well as a
> member of the Debian Installer team. His contributions reached far
> beyond the Debian project. He also worked on the MIPS port of the
> Linux kernel, the MIPS emulation of qemu, and far too many smaller
> projects to be named here.</p>
>
> <p>Thiemo's work, dedication, broad technical knowledge and ability to
> share this with others will be missed. The contributions of Thiemo will
> not be forgotten. The high standards of Thiemos work make it hard to
> pick up.</p>
