A grep of my IRC logs shows that he was in IRC at least until:

FreeNode (formerly OpenProjects.net)-#fedora-x.log:Apr 24 12:39:27 <-- 
ignacio (n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio) has left #fedora-x

FreeNode (formerly OpenProjects.net)-#fedora-devel.log:Jun 23 01:18:04 
-->      ignacio (n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio) has joined #fedora-devel

Jun 25 02:28:25 <--     ignacio (n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio) has left
##fedora-join-instructions

FreeNode (formerly OpenProjects.net)-#fedora-triage.log:Jun 25 01:48:23 
-->     ignacio (n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio) has joined #fedora-triage


All dates are in 2006.

Haven't seen him anywhere since.  Googling for his name doesn't appear
to show anything more recent either.
