    Crushed to hear about @malcolmt. One of my favorite people, ever. A mentor to me and so many others. The world needs more of him, not less.

    Horrible to hear @malcolmt has died. :-( He was a brilliant, kind, hilarious man. Contributed more to Django than basically anybody. RIP.

    .@malcolmt was one of those rare people who combined a huge brain with a huge heart. His contributions and good humour should inspire all.

    Just caught up on Twitter and want to crawl into a hole now. @malcolmt was a great friend and mentor. There are no words yet. But soon.

    Each of us would do well to follow the example of @malcolmt: his humor, his patience, his aversion to quick fixes. He was a good man.

    Sad to read of the passing of @malcolmt, who embodied the generous, idealistic and offbeat best of open-source software.

    No words can describe my feelings right now about Malcolm Tredinnick passing. He inspired me to be a Django [core] developer.

    An ORM refactoring that paved the way to 1.0, full Unicode support (in 2007!), escaping by default in templates, etc.@malcolmt 's #django

    Malcolm did Django's autoescaping and everything-is-Unicode refactor, plus tons of ORM work. All while answering countless mailing-list q's.
