We will be remembering John Perry for quite a while, as he was an Aaron Swartz Day advisor and a good friend to this community.
John Perry only met Aaron once, when Aaron was twelve years old. John Perry describes it here.
(Although you often see he and Aaron together in this famous photograph, which of course, was taken much later.)
The Freedom of the Press Foundation, of which John Perry was a co-founder, has written this piece.
Here’s the EFF’s post, written by Cindy Cohn.
