It is with much sadness that I am letting the community know that Chris Browne passed away recently.
Chris had been a long time community member and was active on various Postgresql mailing lists. He was a member of the funds committee, the PgCon program committee and served on the board of the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada. Chris was a maintainer of the Slony replication system and worked on various PG related tools.
I worked with Chris for over 10 years and anytime someone had a problem he would jump at the chance to help and propose solutions. He always had time to listen to your problem and offer ideas or explain how something worked.
