MySQL Community Awards 2015
The recognition for the community from the community
The MySQL Community Awards is a community based initiative. The idea is to publicly recognize contributors to the MySQL ecosystem. The entire process of discussing, voting and awarding is controlled by an independent group of community members, typically based of past winners or their representatives, as well as known contributors.

It is a self-appointed, self-declared, self-making-up-the-rules-as-it-goes committee. It is also very aware of the importance of the community; a no-nonsense, non-political, adhering to tradition, self criticizing committee.
The Call for Nominations is open. We are seeking the community’s assistance in nominating candidates in the following categories:
This is a personal award; a winner would a person who has made contribution to the MySQL ecosystem. This could be via development, advocating, blogging, speaking, supporting, etc. All things go.
An application, project, product etc. which supports the MySQL ecosystem by either contributing code, complementing its behaviour, supporting its use, etc. This could range from a one man open source project to a large scale social service.
A company who made contribution to the MySQL ecosystem. This might be a corporate which released major open source code; one that advocates for MySQL; one that help out community members by… anything.
For a list of previous winners, please see MySQL Hall of Fame.
Anyone can nominate anyone. When nominating, please make sure to provide a brief explanation on why the candidate is eligible to get the award. Make a good case!
The committee will review all nominations and vote; it typically takes two rounds of votes to pick the winners, and a lot of discussion.
There will be up to three winners in each category.
Methods of nomination:
Please submit your nominations no later than Monday, February 29, 2016.
Members of the committee are:
Jeremy Cole and Shlomi Noach are acting as co-secretaries; non-voting (except for breaking ties).
The committee communicates throughout the nomination and voting process to exchange views and opinions.
Awards are traditionally donated by some party whose identity remains secret. We are now securing the donation, but if you feel an urgent need to be an anonymous donator, please contact us in private, and thank you!
This is a community effort; we ask for your support in spreading the word and of course in nominating candidates. Thanks!
