:/ Our condolences from team Pointr |
Thank you for this post, @peterLaurence. Mike was a dear friend and mentor to me at O'Reilly. This has been such a great loss for us all and we are truly devastated. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need someone to talk to or would like to share stories about Mike. I am an Android engineer and would love to ensure that TileView remains actively supported. I plan on contributing to the project as much as possible. |
Hi @subzthanabalan, We were writing a book together and were about half way. For now, O'Reilly and I agreed to dedicate this book to him - of course it will take more time for me to finish this alone. I met Mike while I was a junior Android developer looking for a nice library to display maps for my trekking application. As I was looking for good performances for my app, I had to contribute to TileView as well. Long story short, I ended up knowing the internal plumbings of TileView (v2) as well as Mike. That was in 2016. So basically, MapView is TileView in Kotlin. This is the project I actively maintain. I would never discourage anyone from contributing to TileView - and as a contributor, I will take care of PRs. I just want to say that I'm focusing on MapView since Kotlin is my main langage now. In a sense, MapView is also Mike's project. |
@peterLaurence I wanted to extend my thanks as well, and echo what @subzthanabalan has already said. Mike was an incredible mentor and had such a wealth of knowledge. You could not have asked for a better team member. |
That's a very sad news, I used TileView as a life saver in my project. |
Hello, I'm Pierre, a contributor on this project.
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Mike Dunn (@moagrius ), the maintainer of TileView, has passed away. Mike and I worked together on TileView since late 2015. We've spent countless hours on code reviews.
This is truly a great loss for everyone and the open source community. Mike, I'll never forget you.
