Very sad to hear of his passing, Didier. I knew him through W3C work. He
was indeed a capable technologist and a most gentle soul. His passing is
indeed a loss.
Best,
Janina

Update November 9, 2021: I am very sorry to inform you that Jos quietly passed
away this morning.
He will be remembered as our own dear, clever, little "Stephen Hawking".
His brother Kees and other family.
His VPS server was closed recently and this website is now temporarily hosted at
the TU Delft.

Los was the developer of eBook-speaker and daisy-player, both included in Slint.
I had communicated with him not so long ago.
I will miss him.
Best regards,
Didier
