More on Dorneles Tremea from Alan Runyan

Toby Roberts — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:18:26 +0000

Finding out about losing Dorneles Tremea has been gut wrenching. He has been one of those silent hero’s in my life that you always expect to be there.

He was the physical manifestation of Tranquillity. It was real joy interacting with him both virtually and physically. Dorneles had tremendous patience and enthusiasm for teaching. If there was an opportunity for him to share anything he knew with someone else — he would take the time to do it.

Many people in the Python, Zope/Plone and Brasilian FOSS communities will feel the hole that Dorneles has left in our collective psyche. I knew Dorneles through the Zope/Plone communities. He always was engaged, interactive, and pushing the software and culture forward.

Dorneles was a hacker. He made things better. He translated many different software packages to Portuguese (possibly responsible for the first Plone translation), wrote lots of software and spoke at many conferences. He loved problem solving and sharing.

I will deeply miss him. I will miss signing for the dozens and dozens of online purchases he would have delivered prior to his arrival in Houston. I will miss trying to order him an alcoholic beverage at a bar and him politely declining asking for juice on tap. I will miss skeet shooting with him.

I’m looking at his Skype profile picture. The picture is from the last time we went shooting. His computer is still connected to Skype. His status is Away.

I IM’ed, “I will miss you.”.

Dorneles will be survived by his wife, Flaviane Machado and his two daughters, Helen (11) and Ingrid (8). They live in Garibaldi which is located in southern Brasil. My heart goes out to his wife and children. The only condolence I can give is that there are many places in the world where Dorneles made an impact.

In this technical-based FOSS community, Dorneles was a recognized and respected member. He was a great person.

For our dear friend Dorneles Tremea

Very, very, very sad day at Enfold. Dorneles Tremea, one of the best Plone developers, passed away this morning. Many of us have known Dorneles for over 7 years. He was brilliant, funny, and one of the most laid back people we had the pleasure of knowing. He is survived by his wife and and 2 daughters – please keep his family in your thoughts.

Rest in peace my friend – you will be missed by many!
