This repository is a memorial space where people who knew Chen Hao (陈皓), a respected software engineer known online as "haoel," can share their personal memories and stories about him. It's designed to collect these recollections into a beautiful handbook that will eventually be given to his children, so they can understand what an accomplished and admired person their father was. The way it works is straightforward. Anyone who knew Chen Hao or worked with him can contribute by submitting a pull request (a way to propose changes on GitHub) with a story or memory. Each contribution goes into its own folder, typically named after the contributor's GitHub username, and contains a Markdown file with the memory along with any photos they want to include. Once a contribution is accepted, it gets added to the repository's index so others can easily find and read all the different stories. The repository currently holds eight personal accounts from people including fellow developers and colleagues who interacted with Chen Hao in various contexts. Beyond just collecting written memories, the project also plans to compile his tweets, organize links to his technical talks and other videos, and gather additional materials that document his life and work. This is a crowdsourced effort to preserve and celebrate someone's legacy through the voices of the people who knew him best, a way for the open-source and tech community to honor his contributions and character.
