According to a posting on the LinuxPPC announcement list, Jason Haas of LinuxPPC was in a serious accident.

He is in bad shape, but is looking better today. I'm trying to keep up with what email he has so if you email kind things to him i'll pass them on." Jason's email address is jhaas@linuxppc.com. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
