I received a sad message by Mrs. Dosset.
She announced that Jdou died unexpected on December 24th.

Here's the original message:

That's terrible news.
Jdou just went into retirement. Here's a message he posted on last november on the french Celestia forum :

Very sad news.
A small piece of Celestia community has reached a place in the sky. Perhaps now he will be able to travel through stars like he did many times. This is what I wish to him and to all of us when the unavoidable will happen.
