I just learned that Fred Brooks (author of The Mythical Man Month) passed away on Nov 17, after a lifetime of trying to bring sanity to software development schedules.
"Nine women can't make a baby in one month."
The world is a better place for his efforts.

Re: Goodnight and thank you, Fred Brooks
Thanks for posting about Fred Brooks. I've added his book to reading list, just waiting for Abe Books to find a copy here in the U.K.
best wishes
