Chris was one of the core coders involved in MySociety, TheyWorkForYou, FaxYourMP, and many other incredibly cool website projects, culminating in the PM's petitions website. I would guess a number of the Cambridge people on my friends list probably knew him... I met him once, very briefly, he was a nice guy. I didn't realise what a phenomenal amount of stuff he'd done until I started reading the links from the linked post though.
