Updated. I waited a while to see if Georg wanted a picture to be included but never heard back. I can always add it later, though.
Thanks a lot Brian. I am so glad you caught this one :). ...the 2012 Frank Willison Award winner's (J. Noller), like past recipients, should also be placed in a PSF news item (blog posting) and also should be made available on the "Frank Willison" award webpage. But, there is no reason to jump-the-gun on this 2012 news-worthy item yet, since the board vote on the 2012 winner has not become public knowledge yet. However, as soon as, the April 2012 board meeting minutes are approved by the board, then I can send you an email requesting a blog posting around the award & winner: Jesse's bio & recognition timeline information, etc. In past years, Doug Hellmann may have collected the award recipient's data from a collection of sources (including the PSF chairman).

The genie may be out of the bottle (since this list is publically available), but I think the 2012 Willison award winner shouldn't be posted here until the award is actually given by O'Reilly at OSCON 2012. Regards, Martin
