[LUAU] Hawaii raises a core KDE Developer

[R. Scott Belford]

I would like to share something that I just learned and that we can all 
be proud of, especially the Leeward Folks.  Hawaii has raised a KDE core 
developer, Aaron J. Seigo.  He recently wrote,

With his permission I would like to call attention to what he has been up to

Pretty impressive, huh?  Shout out to the Leeward Coast. :-)
