I know nothing about her work with ASF, but I knew her briefly when she lived in Portland. She was one of the organizers who create those great tech events this city is known for. I used to attend the weekly brewpup hackathons she organized, and which are still going strong.

I seem to recall that her day job at the time was writing docs for Eucalyptus.

We weren't close, but I can say that she was an interesting, smart, talented, complicated person. Her loss saddens me deeply.

She was actively involved in documentation, communication, and conferences.

She was also on the Board of the Apache Software Foundation.
