Re: Shawn Pearce has died

[Scott Gasch <scott@gasch.org>]

I guess your email server doesn't like HTML messages... here's the plain text:

Chris, also on this email thread, is working on putting together some
kind of video of Shawn's colleagues at Google talking about working
with him.  Part of the thought is that his boys are going to want to
know what there dad was like at some point later in their lives and it
would be nice to capture the thoughts of the people who knew Shawn.

Chris: if people outside of Google wanted to include videos about what
it was like knowing and working with Shawn, how could we do it?  Is
there guidance (length?  format?)?  Deliver as an attachment over
email to you?

Thx,
Scott
