Read moreIn Memoriam of Sietse van der Meer
With great sadness, we have learned that our friend and colleague Sietse passed away last week. We want to offer our condolences to his partner Saskia, his friends and family. He has been part of the CCU family since the very beginning. He was the technical mind behind this website, which he took great pride in. We cherish the great times we spent together, spinning records back2back, puzzling with code into the night or laughing with a beer in hand. His presence will be deeply missed.
