Developer of the Year was given to ... ME, Dawn Oakes ...
Congratulations and our sincere thanks for the recap, Dawn! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all R:BASE Developers and Users around the world, including the first timers who attended the 2005 R:BASE Developers' Conference. This would not have been possible without your continued support and patronage, as well as those who have joined the R:BASE Community for the first time. I would also like to extend a special thank you to all international attendees from Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, who took the time and effort to make it to the conference. Furthermore, our event would not have been the success that it was without the untiring efforts of this year's conference MC's, Charlie Parks, Sami Aaron, and Bill Downall. Thanks for all you do to make each conference a success. An evening without entertainment? Never at the R:BASE Developers' Conference! Thanks to Randy Peterson, SWORBUGS (Thom Cimicato, Ben Fogt, Bret Tucker, Jim Schmitt), Bob Thompson, Dennis McGrath, and David Blocker. Special thanks to Claudine Robbins, Adriana Montano, Sami Aaron and all those who organized and contributed to fund raising efforts for Project Bundle-Up. My sincere thanks to Mark Kwoka and Vera Wang for providing perfume and T-shirts for our female R:BASE Developers. In closing, I would like to say that while the celebrations are an indelible memory for us all, we have returned to work so that we can use all the feedback which we received during the event and the special session for Authorized R:BASE Developers, to even further enhance all of our products and marketing efforts. Yes, this is the R:BASE you've always wanted! We will continue at our feverish pace so that we can provide the R:BASE Community with the tools necessary to deliver the BEST Desktop, LAN, WAN, Client/Server, Linux, Java, Internet and Intranet applications powered by R:BASE to fulfill all your customers' needs. Very Best Regards, Razzak.
