[THIN] Re: Server Based Computing's MVP of 2005

One name that is missing is Rick Mack.
It is a shame that his name isnt out there to a wider audience as he definately 
knows his onions. 
I have learned more from Rick's posts in this forum over the last few years 
than anyone else apart from Ron Oglesby(where he?).
Have a read of some of his postings and you will know what i mean. 
It must be all the Australus they eat down under

  Hi,

  As the election draws to a close, the votes are steadily coming in for the 
Server Based Computing MVP of 2005 election.

  Here's the preliminary score with only two more days to go: 

  1. Doug Brown, with 34% of the votes
  2. Brian Madden, with 30% of the votes
  3. Jeff Pitsch, with 9% of the votes
  4. Thomas Koetzig, with 9% of the votes

  Looks like it's going to be a close finish. The winner will receive the 
fabulous, priceless and above all plastic ;-),  trophy! 

  So, who should win the Server Based Computing's MVP of 2005 award?

        Indeed, the "award" is just a small extra pat on the back for those 
devote so much of (their) free time into the community. Even more so, I was 
just being curious about what you guys think on who deserves that pat on the 
back.

          I agree it is nothing about ego, but all about respect. and the use 
and value of the imput given.  I do not imply any ranking if I had more votes, 
Jim, Brian, Ron, and the three or four thousand others on the list would have 
been included but I was only given one. and it is a democracy (I hope).  I 
therefore chose on the basis of who and what has given me the most help in the 
past. 

          Have a good New Year, to one and all, ( even if by your calander it 
is not yet new year)

            Hahaha… Tom, thank you very much but I don't think there should be 
a ranking to valuable people.  We are help in ways we can and we all help each 
other when we can.   I would have to say that there are about 20 to 30 
different people on this list that have helped me in some way and many that do 
it everyday!  It is just so awesome to be part of a community that helps each 
other for no other reason that to help each other.   It is not about money or 
fame or some silly award, it is about helping someone solve a problem!  We have 
all checked our ego at the door!  I love it!!! 





            On the MIAB front, I've been VERY busy the past month on MIAB4.0.  
I must admit I got a bit behind as my work has just not permitted me the time 
it takes to do this and do it well.  But, this has changed!  I'm committed to a 
2-1-06 release of MIAB 4.0 w/ an updated Tuning Tips section and much more.   
I've very happy with what I have put together and I still have a lot of work to 
do but I WILL have it done soon.  That I promise.



            Anyhoo, Happy New Year Everyone!

            Hi THIN people,

            "I would like to introduce the Server Based Computing MVP (Most 
Valuable "Player") As part of running of Thincomputing.net, I see a LOT of 
Server Based Computing content, ranging from websites to seminars to mailing 
lists. All this content together forms the Server Based Computing community for 
me. This community is run by people whose heart really lies with Server Based 
Computing. Some of these people are (in no particular order): 
            Brian Madden, Doug Brown, Jim Kenzig, Jeroen van de Kamp and many, 
many more.

            I've been so bold as to create a Server Based Computing's MVP of 
2005 poll. It would be great if you would cast your own vote on who should be 
the MVP of Server Based Computing for this year (2005)! 

            Cast your vote here: http://www.thincomputing.net (top right).

            Thank you in advance for your vote. Your input is crucial! 

            Have a happy new year!

            Regards,
            Michel Roth
