Big Congrats, Jerry! That sure is a large jpg, at 505k. I hope 5000
people don't hit your server at once to view it :)

Hi all,

	I was in Las Vegas yesterday accepting an award from eWeek and
PC Magazine on behalf of Samba for the Innovation in Infrastructure Award
in the "Enterprise Software" catagory !

The award was sepcifically for Samba 2.2.2, and we beat out Sun Microsystems
Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Version 1.4 and Bea Systems WebLogic Server 7.0
for the award, so I'm stunned that we won. These guys have marketing
departments
and a *budget* :-) :-).

More details on the finalists are here :

http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s=25420&a=26153,00.asp

and here's a photo of me holding the award taken at the ceremony :-) :-).

(yes I did wear a suit :-).

Thanks to *everyone* who made this possible, we'll be posting more
about it on the samba.org web site soon.

Cheers,

	Jeremy Allison,
	Samba Team.

 so you'll be putting some of the money that is earned from
 such recognition and increased reputation of samba my way,
 then, yes, to fund TNG development, yes, without which such
 an award would not have been possible at this time, yes?

 great!
