He was a highly talented programmer with a focus on Wine's +Direct3D subsystem. Józef founded and led the vkd3d project and provided insight +and guidance to the Vulkan working group. He also contributed to other open +source projects including Mesa and Debian. </p> +<p> Józef was a regular attendee at the yearly WineConf. A man of few +words, he was helpful and displayed a quiet kindness. <br/> His skills +attracted the interest of CodeWeavers and Józef <a +href="https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/jwhite/2019/09/08/a-tragic-loss%22%3... +their team</a> in 2015. That allowed him to dedicate more of his time +to Wine. </p> +<p> Józef died last month at the young age of 28 in an accident in the Jaskinia +Wielka Śnieżna ("great snowy cave") in the Tatra Mountains in Poland. Caving was +his passion. </p> + +<p> Józef will be remembered with warm memories by those who worked with him. +Our thoughts and condolences go out to Józef's family, friends, loved ones, and +everyone else who grieves his passing. </p> +</body></news>
