“And the winner is…”
When then you hear your own name, your heartbeat stops for a while, until the brain starts saying : “Hey downthere… it’s you… it’s really you !”

I’m not used to be a contest-winner, and since this prize comes not (not only) for luck, but (also) for something I did (more or less well), well, I’m “$happy = pow($happy, 2)” !!!!

My congrats to the other winners (Jason and Matt) and a “Thank You” to SugarCRM, that made this funny (and useful) contest possible.

Finally, let me send a very big “THANK YOU” to John (Mertic) for his patience (he helped me – and many of You, I bet ! – moving my first steps on gitHub) and for the hard (and good) work he’s doing for this Community (= for all of us !). John is a Rockstar (if You weren’t at last SugarUnCON, You can’t understand – sorry !).

This is the end…. of the beginning !

Congratulations to Fabio who submitted a ton of great stuff! It was well deserved!

It was fun watching the pull requests come through…unfortunately I watched the wrong branch!

To reiterate what Fabio said John has been awesome throughout this process from setting this up to being patient with us as we figure out how to contribute the Sugar way to working hard to help us tie the loose ends to get our submissions accepted.

We appreciate everything you are doing John!

P.S. If there is a next time it would be great to be able to have a list of bugs that need to be done. Going through the bug tracker is hit and miss as we have to guess if it falls in line with the product direction and if it really is an accepted bug. Other issue is that there really aren’t many bugs (kudos to the Sugar team!). Most, if not all, were feature requests which seem to be a bit out of scope.
