 Wow, it's a good thing there aren't any women nominated...someone could
 get hurt with those 'trophies'. Any more phallic and they'd come with
 batteries. Well, Dick does run ActiveState and it's Dick's award...paint
 it black and you could have a Genuity 'Black Rocket'you'll have to buy
 your own batteries.

Don't worry Elaine, we'll make sure we nominate you next year :)

 *I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of fixing the vote, but you 
 *might be interested to know that there is a london.pm member included
 *in the list of nominations.
 
 It would be nice to have a blurb about what each were nominated for on
 the form but vote Andy as he's a swell guy :)

In case anyone's interested, the finalists (with their achivements) are:

Rocco Caputo - POE
Paul Kulchenko - SOAP modules
Matt Sergeant - AxKit
Tim Vroom - PerlMonks
Andy Wardley -Template Toolkit

All worthy winners, but ask yourself - which one is most likely to buy you a
drink at a london.pm meeting if he wins the award?

Dave...

I think you're supposed to supply that. Did you try to vote? It won't let
you until you fill in the text box at the top.

I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to be for. Perhaps to make sure
you've actually heard of the person you're voting for.

I was also under the impression that there is a Perl award *and* a Python
award, yet you can't vote for a Perl person and a Python person at the same
time -- at least not in the browser I was using (the radio buttons all
belong to the same group, rather than having a Perl group and a Python
group).

Cheers,
Philip
