There’s an end of May

Today we bid a fond farewell and wish bon voyage to May, otherwise known as Yu Wei Li, who is returning home to Canton province in China.

May studied global computing and multimedia at the University of Bristol before she started volunteering for Bristol Wireless at the end of 2005. Although she’d never used Linux before, she went through the usual Bristol Wireless volunteer induction programme, involving doing operating system installations on donated and refurbished hardware, and quickly came to realise its power. When it came to making use of her particular skills, May led the development work on the video jukebox currently being tested before being let loose on the Bristol Wireless network.

Last Friday night we had a farewell gathering at the Windmill pub for May, at which she was presented with a new Bristol Wireless T-shirt as a momento of her time with us (we now hope to see it being proudly worn in various parts of China – Ed.).

May, we’ll miss you and wish you all the best for the future. Please stay in touch.
