October 2008 - Urias Mccullough (umccullough)urias-mc

For his continued commitment to get Haiku Inc. to a viable state. Haiku Inc. is an important part of the Haiku project, being the official contact for businesses and other organisations and for collecting donations for PR and development purposes.

Also, he worked with Coverity to get their code analysis tool to work on the Haiku source. Many bugs are fixed already and Haiku is more stable for it, esp. when stressing the system in low resource situations.

February 2008 - Begeistert Teambegeistert-logo-3

The organizers of the BeGeistert meetings, Charlie Clark, Eric Tiggemann, André Meissner, Ralf Schülke (I'm not sure these are all the people involved...)

For roughly 10 years they work hard to arrange successful events where developers and users exchange knowledge and opinions. Even in the hard times, when Be Inc. was gone, YellowTab were critically watched and Haiku wasn't quite on the map yet, the BeGeistert Orga-Team persevered and continued their work.

Thank You Award


About

The purpose of Haikuware's 'Thank You Award' (TYA), is to show our appreciation towards Haiku developers, documentation writers, community members, or basically anyone that contributes to Haiku to further its cause. The goal of this project is one of recognition (bragging rights!?) and acknowledgement from the community for what most developers at Haiku do in their spare time - and for free!

How it Works
295451384v3_350x350_Front
Administration, choosing candidates, comments and suggestions concerning this project are handled on Freelists. We also accept nominations for Thank You Award candidates in advance of each poll in the form of comments on our website. A public poll based on the selection of candidates will then be held, and the winner will be awarded the prize.

A Haiku Golf Shirt will be awarded every two months (pending funds), making six awards per year. Any money collected above $40 every two months will be saved in the account for subsequent awards. If the balance hasn't reached $40, the award will be skipped until the next round.

Fifteen percent of failed bounties will be moved to the Thank You Award. Recipients of the award will be excluded from future awards.

I've sent emails to all winners asking for their pictures because I wanted to make this section a little prettier. I only got three replies... Anyone want to help me track down available photos on the net for these guys?? (I have humdinger and umccullough's pics).
