I worked a bit with Tom on GNU Arch, back in the day. He was a great mind, precise and dedicated. He was always supporting and caring with contributors.

If we have distributed version control systems such as Bazaar (first) and git (later), we owe it in no small part to him.

Rest in peace Tom, I will miss you.
