Tom Wheeler Wins The 2006 NetBeans Community Award
Congratulations Tom.
(Jeff Brown announce this in an internal email.)
Gregg Sporar, Sun NetBeans evangelist: Rich Green said a few words and then introduced James Gosling. James held up a SavaJe phone and referred to it as the "device of the conference" for JavaOne this year. He also talked briefly about the version of NetBeans that includes support for BlueJ projects (more on that here). He then announced the winners of this year's NetBeans community awards: Ramon Ramos, Wade Chandler, David Strupl, and Tom Wheeler. Each gets a signed certificate and a Sun Ultra20 workstation.
Tom Wheeler, as you know, wrote two JNB articles ([1], [2]) on the NetBeans Platform.
Congratulations Tom. And can I touch your super cool Ultra 20 when you come back. Just one touch. Please... :)
(Geertjan and Tom Wheeler)
