Hello,
After much discussion, a secret committee has made the following
announcement:
-----------------------------------------
Minh Van Nguyen is an integral part of the Sage development effort.
He is awarded the 2010 Spies Development Prize in recognition of his
code contributions, release management, support for new users and
outstanding work on documentation.
Minh's mathematical interests are primarily in discrete mathematics
and he has contributed substantial new code and fixes to the Sage
library, especially for cryptography and graph theory. Minh assumed
release management duties in Summer 2009 and has diligently performed
this difficult task with calm and goodwill. The build system and
documentation of the release cycle have greatly benefited from his
involvement. Present in the sage-devel IRC channel at all hours, he
welcomes newcomers and patiently helps with the most basic questions
about mathematics, syntax and programming, in addition to frequenting
the forums. His meticulous work on documentation is legendary within
the Sage community. Doctests, tutorials, manuals and web pages have
all benefited from his detailed work and suggestions for major
improvements and innovations. His release tours are useful, accurate
and informative chronicles of Sage development.
For his consistently conscientious commitment to Sage development,
Minh Nguyen is the recipient of the 2010 Spies Development Prize.
This award carries a prize of $500 from the Sage Foundation (thanks to
Jaap Spies).
