[oor-forum] Mike Dean

[Jamie Clark]

    Please also extend our condolences from OASIS to Mike's family and
colleagues.
    He has been an essential contributor and inspiring force in a really
important, but really difficult to organize, field of expertise which
continues to re-shape the world for the better.
    Warm regards  Jamie
