Robert and I had many conversations about the Bazaar version control
system, and I owe to him my passion for distributed version control.

When I needed to convince my workplace to try this strange new idea,
Robert kindly donated his time to visit our offices and give a
presentation on why distributed version control was better and why
Bazaar was a good choice for us.

He also inspired me to get serious about unit testing as a way to
increase confidence in a code base.

You touched many lives, and you are missed. Vale, Rob.
