Michael Hart, Project Gutenberg Founder, Dies at 64

http://j.mp/puhJjo  (Telegraph)

    "Michael Hart, who died on September 6 aged 64, was the father of
     Project Gutenberg, a seemingly quixotic scheme to copy the texts of
     tens of thousands of books into electronic form and distribute them
     for free; he thus gave birth to what has become known as the ebook
     revolution."
