The Linux Foundation is deeply saddened at the recent passing of our longtime colleague and dear friend, Dan Kohn. Dan was one of the great open source leaders of our time, a brilliant mind –  devoted to giving back to the community, and a loving husband and father who will truly be missed forever.

Dan’s lifelong desire was to help others. From serving as a volunteer firefighter in college to founding Linux Foundation Public Health at the height of the pandemic to assist in the worldwide fight against COVID-19, he never stopped finding ways to make a positive and lasting impact. We are forever grateful for Dan’s many contributions and accomplishments and will continue to honor his legacy of constant collaboration, sharing, and compassion in everything that we do.
