[Open-education] Sad news from our community: Our Indian Ambassador Subhajit Ganguly has passed away

Wed Apr 8 15:10:54 UTC 2015

It is shocking to receive news of untimely demise of Subhajit.  He was a
committed volunteer to the cause in India.  May almighty give strength to
his family and friends in this terrible situation.

RIP Subhajitda. Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti...
