+<p>The Debian Project sadly announces that it has lost a member of its
+community. Lucy Wayland passed recently.</p>
+
+<p>Lucy was a contributor within the Cambridge (UK) Debian community, helping
+to organise the Cambridge Mini-DebConf since several years. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+She was a strong fighter for diversity and inclusion, and participated
+in the creation of the Debian Diversity Team, working on increasing the
+visibility of under-represented groups and providing support with respect to
+diversity issues within the community. 
+</p>
+
+<p>The Debian Project honours her good work and strong dedication to Debian
+and Free Software. Lucy's contributions will not be forgotten, and the
+high standards of her work will continue to serve as an inspiration to
+others.</p>
+
