When i met him back in 2001 i think, he impressed so much i asked him, so whats your name? He refused to tell me, instead telling me to call him "Beste Mnoma". As so we all did for a few months!

To me, idd was "beste mnoma" in code and in life. His blog www.iddsalim.com is a legacy to Kenyan Tech community that deserves attention.

RIP Idd Salim

Rest in peace Idd.

A great sense of humour and a straight talker.

The Kenyan Tech Scene will miss one of its most dedicated champion.

It's only fair that the tech community gets alerted that we lost one of our own. Idd Salim passed away last night 10pm after three days in hospital. It was a bad case of TB as I gather. Burial will be tomorrow at Langata cemetery.

We mourn.
