Nor do we warrantee in any way that Twinkies are fit for the purpose suggested :)
However, only at the WWRUG13 Ceremony will you get the opportunity, if I can call it that, to consume a Canadian (actually Quebecois since they are made there) twinkie, whose production was never interrupted. So, yet another reason to add to the ones to be found at a web site near you: www.wwrug13.com <http://www.wwrug13.com> . Even BMC is getting excited not only about showcasing new features and patented ideas, but also what MyIT can do, and have us question Senior Management. Yes for the first time at WWRUG, we have finally been able to gather a panel for a Q&A as part of the opening Keynote! I will now return the list to the previously scheduled discussions. Daniel p.s. and as my friend from Chicago that is on our board says: "vote early, vote often" p.p.s. and that isn't all the twinkies that will be there, not enough would fit in my suitcases (just remember to say "une twinkie Canadiens s'il vous plait") Hmm, is a twinkie feminine or masculine?

Our field has narrowed from 9 to 3. Your top 3 MVP's this year are David Easter Frederick W Grooms Jason Miller So...here is how it will work, you can still cast your vote for your pick 1st-3rd, or just 1st as some of you chose to do in round 1. If you already cast a vote, your vote still stands, but you can choose to change it if you want. If you chose to vote like this (an actual vote BTW) 1 - Tauf 2 - Jason 3 - Carl here is what I'm doing with that...Tauf and Carl are no longer in the pool, so I take their names off, and Jason slides into first place vote for this person. If you voted for 3 people that are no longer eligible, your MVP vote has been nullified, and you are encouraged to vote again. Both Doug and Ryan are still the only two Beyond the Call nominees, and you can still vote for them if you haven't already...but I won't be accepting changes to this vote. So....you know who you voted for...any vote for the remaining 3 nominees is automatically carried over to the next round...but you can change that if you so choose... Lets pick an MVP folks :) On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 2:16 PM, LJ LongWing <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: It is now time to VOTE for this years ARSList MVP and BMC Beyond the Call. The rules changed a bit this year regarding the nomination process, which allows us to have a larger pool of nominees than would normally be available, which brings its own challenges. The voting will run 4 weeks this year. I'm going to run it as several voting rounds with people being eliminated, and by the final round have finalists. This year we have a record number of nominees. Here are the rules. * Voting starts now and ends Sunday August 18th at 5PM EST * Voting is by the Individual REAL person, so redistribution lists don't vote, your identity must be known, and those that have multiple subscriptions still get only one vote * BMC Software employees on the ARSList are eligible to vote * All decisions of myself or the oversight panel are final (if I have to make a controversial decision, I confer with 3 past MVP winners for their opinion) * The Award will be made on Thursday October 3rd at WWRUG13: Award Ceremony during the WWRUG Awards keynote. [no one knows the winner(s) until then, well okay, except me and Daniel] * PLEASE SEND VOTES TO [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> FOR THEM TO COUNT MVP VOTING FORMAT: Each Person voting gets to vote for their top 3 picks. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, each position has a weight to it. At the end of 2 weeks, we will have a runoff of the top 3 nominees where we will use the same format, which should give us a clear winner, if a tie does occur, we will cull the 3rd place votes and see if that gives a winner. In the unlikely event that we still don't have a winner, then just the top 1 vote will count. If then, we still have a tie, Daniel and I will confer with past winners to break the tie. MVP Nominees are Axton Grams - Winner of the MVP in 2006, he is a steady member of the community that provides resources both on and off list. His nomination this year called out his knowledge of integrations and server setups as a key factor of his helpful nature. Carl Wilson - While a relative newcomer to the ARSList, Carl has been part of the BMC Remedy community for quite a few years and since joining the list has helped many members with a variety of problems. His nomination this year specifically called out his knowledge on SRM and ITSM. Clair Sanford - Clair is a staple of the ARSList, both asking questions and answering other peoples questions. Her nomination this year didn't call out any specific areas of expertise, but instead discussed her general knowledge and willingness to help anyone. David Easter - David is an ever present authority an all things Remedy. His nomination this year discussed his in depth knowledge of documentation, quite often with links to the official BMC pages. His posts are always thought out and detailed in nature. Frederick W Grooms - A modern day renaissance man, Fred's nomination this year speaks to a man of many talents from workflow and upgrades to OS issues and more. He often provides details that obviously require investigation and work on his end before responding. Jason Miller - Often the purveyor of arcane knowledge, Jason is willing to help people both on and off list. His nomination this year stated that Jason is so helpful in so many areas that it's hard to pinpoint specific areas of specialty. Laurent Matheo - Laurent is new to the ARSList, but not new to Remedy. After meeting him at last years RUG event and telling him that the ARSList is 'where it's at', he happily joined the list and has become a regular fixture seeming to specialize in thinking outside the box and finding creative solutions to everyday problems. Mark Brittain - There almost isn't a day that goes by that you don't find Mark posting a question or answering one on the ARSList. He is quite often ready to either come up with a creative solution to your problem, or point you to BMC Documentation on how to do it. Tauf Choudhury - Tauf takes the ARSList to a whole different level by answering his posts while on the go. Tauf regularly posts solutions to problem in every realm, but his contribution in the SRM arena was specifically called out in his nomination. The BMC Vote will be run in the standard one vote per person format for a period of 4 weeks total. BMC Beyond the Call Nominees are Doug Mueller - As THE founding father of Remedy, Doug has inside knowledge like no one else. His posts to the list are regularly longer than average, and chock full of more information than you might get out of a week long training class. Ryan Downing - A relative newcomer to the list, Ryan has stepped up and is becoming a regular fixture. His posts are knowledgeable, in depth, and quite often reported as fixing the problem.
