I am honored to be a recipient of this year's Google O'Reilly Open Source Award for being the "best community amplifier" for my work with the microformats, Spread Firefox and BarCamp communities! (See the original call for nominations). Inexplicably I was absent when they handed out the award, hanging out with folks at a Python/Django/jQuery drinkup down the street, but I'm humbled all the same... especially since I work on a day to day basis with such high caliber and incredible people without whom none of these projects would exist, would not have found success, and most importantly, would never have ever mattered in the first place. Also thanks to @bmevans, @TheRazorBlade, @kveton, @anandiyer, @donpdonp, @dylanjfield, @bytebot, @mtrichardson, @galoppini for your tweets of congratulations! And our work continues. So lucky we are, to have such good work, and such good people to work with.
