Today is a day of grief for Linux Journal. This afternoon, Associate Editor Shawn Power's home burned down — though we don't know many details yet, we do know that Shawn, his wife Donna, and their three girls are escaped unharmed, but their pets were lost.

Shawn is one of the warmest, kindest, and most big-hearted people we know. Anyone who has met him, in the offline world or online knows that he is an amazing person, and is constantly focused on others. We at Linux Journal are privileged to know him, and compelled to offer whatever assistance we can in this troubled time.
