Vlado “Kaladan” Petkov passed away yesterday. He was a valued member of the IT, blogging, and WordPress communities in Sofia – a technical leader we could all learn from. I had the chance to work with him on a few occasions, and he was truly a model to follow.
He volunteered as a photographer at WordCamp Sofia and WordCamp Europe, brightening the events with his beautiful photos. He also co-hosted the popular podcast Govori Internet, helping shape the podcasting scene in Bulgaria.
Sincere condolences to his friends and family. He will be missed.
