There has been a lot of excitement about the OmFest idea. If you’d like to attend or contribute, please fill out this form as soon as possible so we can gauge the type of venue we need.
It’s truly a testament to how Om lived life to see the outpouring of remembrances in comments on the post and around the web on Techmeme.
I do wish he had been more public earlier in his health journey. You never know what you’ll learn. I’ll take that as a lesson for myself if I’m ever in a similar situation.
There have been some great long-form writings about Om:
- John Gruber ties together Apple, the Yankees, and luggage.
- Stacey Higginbotham from the original GigaOM.
- Mathew Ingram.
- The New York Times did an obituary.
- Ben Clymer on Hodinkee.
- Ryan Merket on RuntimeWire.
- Om introduced Krutal Desai as his son.
- Susan Hobbs.
- Pradeep Elankumaran.
- Naveen Selvadurai.
- Christopher Michel.
- Jonathan Gheller.
- Mamoon Hamid.
I know I’m missing a ton, I’ll update the above. I also added a few more vignettes and pictures to the last post.
