P.S. Old time RTP area system folk will also recall that Ames Schrader of Duke computation center fame was killed in a bicycle accident in west Durham several years back. It is time Duke and Durham get serious about bicycle safety in the area.
R est in peace, Seth.

Bon voyage, a fellow biker.

At the risk of being found insensitive the first bicycle security measure should be extending hefty tickets to bikers who act like if traffic regulations didn't apply for them. I am tired of trying to cross the street without getting killed and being distracted by bikers who didn't stop at the red light. I am also tired of bikers on sidewalks going as fast as if they were in Tour de France even when there children around. I had a friend who had several ribs broken in a collision with a biker. Had he been a child it could have been far worse. And I have children.
I don't doubt Seth Vidal was a nice guy and I don't know if the accident was from a fault on his own. But neither do you so please don't engage in demagoguery.
Having said that, my condolences to his family. From what I know from him the world is a little worse

Floating a trial balloon is indeed a great way to do that! The police (in NC, where they have more urgent matters to attend -- such as restricting abortion, worker, consumer and environmental protections have identified this as a hit-and-run, what more do you want?

This really has nothing to do with someone getting run over by a car in a hit and run accident. And now we've drifted from an OT (only slightly, given Seth's contributions to RH and Fedora) commemoration to a seriously OT topic of road use. I'd suggest it's not in great taste.
Since yum is an integral part of Fedora, perhaps we can consider naming F20 after him.
Or if he would have been uncomfortable with this (I did not know him), perhaps name it after his passions: yum and biking (from what I read here) in some creative way....

Seth added so much to our community. Perhaps there is some way to set up a "Seth Vidal Award" for contribution to the community. Maybe RedHat could serve as the repository? Someone in Redhat could setup a non-profit to support the effort? Maybe a small gift or something for the recipients?

The last time something along that line was discussed, a dedication was done for the release. Dedicating the F20 release to Seth, rather than naming it after him, seems to be more in line with past practice. Considering the magnitude of his contributions to Fedora, I think that a dedication to him in F20 would be a nice thing to do. It won't bring him back, but would probably help the community.

I am not floating trail balloons. It is the other guy who tries to take advantae of this tragedy to further an agenda.
Also what do you want to do? Outlawing hits and runs? They already are. Do like in some parts of Paris where they took one yard wide bike ways from the street and isolated them with half-foot high concrete barreers? End result has been traffic jams (street was wide enough for two cars, now only for one and half, that means one ) all while in the bike way you will see about two or three bicycles an hour. Talk of a waste of real estate. And guess what happens at cross roads where bikers are no longer protected by the barrer? You guessed it: bikers ignore traffic lights.
My experience here in France is that at least 95% of bikers ignore even major traffic regulations. From what I have read in America it is about the same thing. This is dangerous for them and it is dangerous for people who have to look in the wrong direction because of them.
Now this guy is telling "Seth has died so without requiring anything from them let's protect those bikers who do die through a fault of their own" In France we say "Aide-toi et le ciel t'aidera" ie "Help yourself and God will help you". Even if Seth didn't do anything wrong how about them, that is those 95% reckless bikers changing behaviour? How about campaigning for _that_ instead?

Also, shouldn't something be done as a commemoration/assistance? Not knowing Seth's situation, usually with someone's passing there are gifts made to surviving family members and/or gifts to institutions in lieu of flowers to commemorate the deceased.

It typically takes a few days for the family to sort things out after an unexpected death. I expect when the family makes it known what they want, that information will be made available to our community.

Seth was well known and attended many Fedora events worldwide. He was very much respected by those who knew his work, and loved by those who knew him personally. I'm glad to see so many people unified in the feeling he'll be dearly missed.

It's also worth remembering that Seth was in favor of dropping the naming process altogether -- https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2012-March/011419.h... but didn't really _hate_ them -- https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2012-March/011427.h... .
This makes Jef Spatela's tweet on the subject https://twitter.com/jspaleta/status/354740898371862529 ring particulary true. I think it's the kind of joke that Seth would have rolled his eyes at and secretly appreciated.
I wish I could ask him.
When this came up in reference to Dennis Ritchie's death during the F16 development cycle, the decision was made to do a dedication rather than naming the release after him. This isn't identical to the situation with Seth since he was a community member, but I still think the reasoning applies. If people want to see what was done, take a look at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_release_announcement
+1 to do what we did re Dennis.

I agree, but we are not suggesting naming the release after him, but something that some of us think would be a good but indirect way of honoring him.
Of course, I would not mind dropping the naming process altogether....

I liked the suggestions of Biker Yum or Yummy Cycles as names for F20. Perhaps could use one of these or similar and have the dedication to him also.

Initially at the point of reading the suggestion I agreed that naming a release after him was an awesome plan, although nearing my reading's conclusion I came upon the thought that, since Seth has given so much to our software and community, I personally believe that the devotion of one meager release that has the staying power of somewhere between 6 and 18 months before it is committed to EOL seems a little temporary; from what we have all been saying about him, I think he might deserve a more permanent fixture within the Red Hat / Fedora / Linux community, some recognition along the lines of Torvalds or Stallman.

Excellent point, even though none of the suggestions is mutually exclusive.

Maybe name some sort of "package" after him?.....something with some more staying power?...

I had in mind something like adding the name to the corporate identity of either Fedora or Red Hat, as packages can even reach EOL. Perhaps set up a memorial for giants like him in the open source community, as many of you are, and are also deserving of such treatment in memory.

The F20 name nomination period is officially over, but we haven't had the vote yet. I suppose this should be a ticket with FESCO or the Fedora Board if people are really interested in making this happen.
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ https://fedorahosted.org/board/
Ticket already landed to the Board and it was discussed on the latest meeting. Unfortunately I couldn't attend, so not sure what was the decision. But personally I'm in favour of release announcement, other events at Flock dedicated to Seth etc. as we did for Dennis Ritchie.
