RIP Gert Florijn (1960-2025), bridge builder between industry and academia in software engineering, and a friendly, wise, yet stern advisor to government and industry.

Together with Eelco Visser he was the initiator and industrial co-funder of the PhD project in which Eelco Dolstra developed the now widely used #Nix and @nixos_org -- a level of impact few of us have achieved.

In 2023 he joined #AcICT: It was a privilege to work with him.
