If you only watch one speech from this memorial, watch the speech from Carl Malamud: http://archive.org/details/AaronSwartzMemorialAtTheInternetA...

And Taren's.

This marks the end of the grieving for me, to the extent that my mind allows. One of the saddest deaths of someone I didn't know personally. RIP, Aaron.

Same here. I didn't know Aaron personally but can't remember being so affected by a strangers death.

Thanks for everything and RIP Aaron.

There was also a great memorial hackathon around the world over the weekend.

Aaron achieved so much so young and had the potential to change the world even more for better. Everytime I hear his name or read a post about him cannot help my anger at the people who pushed him to the edge. I can only hope the people responsible for his untimely death are soon brought to justice .
