Today, on January 11th, we have to remember who died #OTD in 2013: Aaron Swartz

You may know him from his contribution to or creation of:

• Markdown
• The Creative Commons License
• RSS
• Reddit

We must never forget him and his contributions to our world forever - especially due to circumstances of injustice and the cause he became a martyr for.

Il y a 12 ans, Aaron Swartz mettait fin à ses jours à l'approche d'un procès pour fraude électronique : il y était poursuivi pour avoir publié en accès libre des dizaines de millions de documents d'intérêt public.

À 26 ans, il avait contribué à la création ou au développement de plusieurs outils, organisations et services précieux dont Reddit, les flux RSS, les licences Creative Commons, le Markdown, l'Internet Archive ou SecureDrop.

#OnThisDay, 10 Jan 1917, the silent sentinels start their picketing of the US White House, demanding votes for women.

They protested six days a week until 1919, when the nineteenth amendment of the US constitution gave women the right to vote.

In practice, state restrictions on voters continued to limit some people’s right to vote.
