Lyz, thanks for letting us know.

Many of us knew Chris from his great involvement in Linux User Groups (LUGs), e.g. BerkeleyLUG.com, and his great useful advocacy of Open Source and Linux, or his AC Transit or ham radio activities, etc. Always a very friendly practical helpful resource, in so many ways. Also highly knowledgeable on so many matters of AC Transit and public transportation and related matters much more generally too. He certainly shall be missed.

I'll pass along the information to at least some relevant LUGs ( CABAL (Conspire list on linuxmafia.com) SF-LUG.org BALUG.org ("Talk" list, and when the "Announce" has it's next send, include brief mention and link to the "Talk" posting))

Hi everyone,

I was very sad to learn from an AC Transit press release that Chris Peeples has passed away.

I first met Chris at BerkleyLUG back when we were meeting at Bobby G's and I was really happy about his commitment to Linux. It was lovely to run into him over the years and learn all the great work he's done for AC Transit, the last time I saw him was probably a year ago when he was representing AC Transit at a booth at a local festival where I now live in Castro Valley.
