+  <para>
+    During the preparation of Fedora 16, the computing world lost one
+    of its great contributors: Dennis Ritchie.  Ritchie co-invented
+    Unix and the C language.  He also co-authored "The C Programming
+    Language", a book that taught many programmers just at the time
+    personal computing was exploding.  Without Ritchie computing would
+    be nothing like it is today.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    A humble man, not well-known outside his field, Dennis will always
+    be remembered by those of us who practice the craft.  Thank you
+    Dennis.
