Eugeni Dodonov was also remembered by communities of
MageiaBrasil and
MandrivaBrasil.
Eugeni Dodonov became Development Manager Mandriva in 2010, and came to interact with the Brazilian community of Mandriva users, became a
member of the MandrivaBrasil Forum and participated in several conversations there (
Mandriva 2010.2 Released - December 22, 2010). His decision to approach the community was actually pretty cool. With great simplicity, participated in many discussions. I think that was his mark: lot of technical competence and simplicity and respect for all.
In his interview, he also had that same attitude, as in july/2011 in the
interview for Guimesmo, member of the MandrivaBrasil Forum. In february/2012 he also gave another
interview to Darkduck commenting about his professional trajectory and making many compliments to the staff of Mandriva and
Mageia.
Eugeni Dodonov, thank you

Open Source Community Loses One of Our Own

Anne Nicolas broke the sad news yesterday of the passing of former Mandriva developer, Eugeni Dodonov. Dodonov died Sunday in route to the hospital after being found unconscious in the middle of the road. He was 31.
Dodonov was born in Russia in 1981 but had been living and studying in Brazil for the past few years. He may be best known for his work at Mandriva as a developer and several leadership positions. Most recently he'd been working for Intel developing Open Source drivers and contributing to Mageia. Nicolas said, "He did an amazing work on Mandriva and then on Mageia, when he started contributing here too. We will always remember him as a very close friend, skilled developer and also for his humor, enthusiasm and posting kind messages to the distribution users."
According to the translation of an article published in Portuguese, Dodonov was found lying in the road but it was unclear if he'd be struck by a vehicle or took a tumble from his bicycle. He died while in transport to Holy House hospital. Police are investigating.
