The networking community grants *can't* be right -- I thought I at least
had a grant, and I believe that there are many others as well. At a
minimum the "leaders" on the page looks like a fair first start (though
I suspect far more grants than it are appropriate):
* sowmini (Sowmini Varadhan)
<http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=723>
* danmcd (Dan McDonald) <http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=148>
* carlsonj (James D. Carlson)
<http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=105>
* okie (Renee Danson) <http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=540>
* ndroux (Nicolas Droux)
<http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=10319>
* sunay (Sunay Tripathi )
<http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=750>
* mph (Michael Hunter) <http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=955>
* bw (William Watson) <http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=100>
* darrenr (Darren Reed) <http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=999>
* meem (Peter Memishian)
<http://opensolaris.org/viewProfile.jspa?id=469>
If I *do* have a grant, then please consider my nomination for each the
above persons *except* William Watson (sorry bw, whoever you are, I
don't know you). Additionally, I'd like to further nominate John Beck,
Roamer Lu, Darren Reed, Paul Winder, and Andrew Gallatin.
