Some very sad news
I've just read on LinkedIn about the shocking loss of Martin Isenburg who is no longer with us. I had read this yesterday and couldn't quite believe it, thinking it a misunderstanding of some kind, but this seems not to be the case. I'm still struggling to take it on board if I'm honest. Martin was one of the great innovators, sharers and fonts of knowledge in our community. His untimely passing is a major blow and serious loss. RIP to one the greats.

Re: Some very sad news
I just read about this as well Shane, and this is a huge loss for the LiDAR community. I see he also published his last blog 2 days ago with troubling news.

I read his last entry on his Twitter page. There is no confirmation of his untimely passing. I do pray for his recovery.
