Re: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2013: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open
Ok folks, we are 1 week from voting beginning on the ARSList awards. For nomination, thus far we have had 23 participants nominating 9 MVP's and 6 BMC Above and Beyond. I personally consider this awesome to have so many people to choose from for a nomination perspective, but am disappointed in the number of participants. Please remember that your effort as a participant is in recognition of another person's effort to help you. All nominations must go to arslistawa...@wwrug.com, and should include a sentence or two describing why they deserve the nomination. This will likely be my last email on this subject, with the next one listing your nominees for voting. Thank you to those of you that have already participated.

I don't know LJ. With only 23 people playing it almost seems like the whole thing should be scrapped. Dan may have been right; the awards are not providing the value they once did and people are too busy or don't care about this tradition anymore? Although I think I remember seeing and talking to more the 23 people who said they would play this year if the awards were kept alive. Maybe there will be a flood of actual votes?

Re: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2013: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open
Lister, LJ, Joe, I have in my mind one former BMC empoyee who is not BMC emplyee anymore. Will he be aligible to be voted as MVP? As far as I racall, once upon a time there was a category for the most valuable Remedy/.../BMC/ list contributor. Am I right or my memory has been already deteriorating? Best regards, Darek Kuzara ** Oh good to see it back! I don't remember if we could nominate more than one -- I know we have to vote for just one. But in the event of an opinion where 2 people deserve a nomination, is that allowed? Also in the past I recall a BMC / Remedy employee could not be nominated. IF that person at the time of the nomination is no longer a BMC employee, is he / she eligible to be nominated as a MVP?

Ok folksI remember an outcry last year, after the awards when people were saying that they would vote, how important this list was to them, just give you one more chancewhere is that passion? To date, we have a total of 9 people that even sent an email...that's not much We have 3 valid MVP nominees, and 2 BMC Above and Beyond I know that I see more than 3 non bmc and 2 bmcers posting to the list in the last year. There have been ALLOT of questions asked, and MANY people that have helped out. If you have been helped by someone on this list, and you feel they deserve to be recognized, lets do this and recognize them. There can be only one winner (in each category), but as a twice nominated person, I can tell you that it was an honor to even be nominated the first time...so lets get to this and nominate some of your favorite people on the list this year. Remember, nominations need to be accompanied by a paragraph (or a sentence even) saying WHY they deserve the honor of MVP.

Re: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2013: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open
Nominations have always been restricted to one per category. If the other person\people is\are worthy of nomination, others will nominate them. Seemed strange to me when someone nominated a person and then didn't vote for them too, but it is the persons choice. For the BMC Employee: Sure, to be eligible they need to be employed by BMC as of 3rd of July to be nominated for BMC Beyond the Call of Duty. They have to still be employed by BMC when they are nominated. They don't have to still be an employee to receive the Award. I have never placed a restriction on how long ago you left BMC to be nominated for MVP, that is new ground. There was a round of BMC layoffs a couple of months ago. May I believe. So someone may have done most contributions for 8 months as an employee, and 4 as not. I will leave it to the good judgement of the court of ARSlist nominators and voters, by nominating or not, voting for or not, for those that were and aren't BMC Employees that fall into that category (I can think of one person in particular I expect this to apply to). Personally I think a contribution of someone that was clearly to the benefit of the ARSlist, i.e. the BMC Remedy community, should be recognized one way or another so I am not inclined to get very technical on the rules around it. Those rules that do exist were created after a few years when a company did try to stack the deck in it's favour, and I did not consider that in the spirit of the ARSlist, so I added rules to avoid what they did. It is also the only year I voted. Daniel p.s. and don't forget, we accept suggestions for other categories of Awards as well, keep them positive. Not greatest number of silly questions in one year (the record was 25+ in two days; I tried to help the person by phoning her to say she is welcome to continue asking the list but suggested reading the manual that would answer them all and she screamed at me how dare I call and suggest she read the manual, I have phoned no one since, but I digress) From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: July 6, 2013 1:58 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2013: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open ** In my opinion, that person should have left BMC Software during the same period that a new subscriber is eligible to vote, so since its 3rd of July 2013 for a new ARS Lister to be eligible to vote this year, then a candidate previously in employment with BMC Software should have left BMC before 3rd July 2013 as well to be eligible.

Then that person probably more than deserves to run as a nominee / candidate for that award :-) About the number of people one person could nominate, it used to be 3 right? So nominations were not restricted to just 1 candidate per person - right? So we had a debate about continuing this tradition last year and many of us thought we should. Many of you who are generally silent viewers, supported this and promised to actively take part in the nomination / voting process if it were continued. And it has been decided to be continued. It doesn't take a lot of time to vote - and even lesser time to nominate as you already know who your favorite posters who post quality stuff are.. So please participate! Personally I think it's a great incentive and recognition for those who provide us with a wealth of information here free of charge. Not many things these days of substantial value come free. And yet this list seems to defy that unwritten law of economics which is if it's valuable - it can't be free.

There is 1 Nomination, and one Vote per person. Each nomination from each independent person, this year needs to come with a paragraph of sorts describing WHY they feel the person in question deserves to be the 2013 MVP. All nominations need to go to the aforementioned email address And the rule has always been that you cannot work for BMC and be nominated...and I assume the person in question is no longer an employee...I'm not entirely sure about the rules regarding this...not sure we have come across a rule regarding this in the past...I'll let Daniel decide, unless I get to decide because I'm running this thing this year Daniel?

In my opinion, that person should have left BMC Software during the same period that a new subscriber is eligible to vote, so since its 3rd of July 2013 for a new ARS Lister to be eligible to vote this year, then a candidate previously in employment with BMC Software should have left BMC before 3rd July 2013 as well to be eligible. IF not that date then some reasonable date that is in some way related to the voting eligibility date to keep the rule consistent every year.

Re: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2012: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open
ARSList, I beg you all to go out and nominate. Every year Daniel goes through the effort to get people to participate, I was shocked last year when I tried to nominate two people and Dan said I could only nominate one, and that if two sources nominated each of the people I wanted to be on the ballot, they would be. There are a lot of people on this list that have benefited from others time and effort. If you have been helped by ANYONE this year, please take the time out of YOUR day and nominate them. I would personally love to see a list of at least 6 people to be able to vote from this year. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Daniel Bloom Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2012 5:21 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: WWRUG/ARSlist Awards 2012: Nominations for MVP etc. and New Categories now open ** ** Sorry for the long post, it is needed for this: As Founder of the ARSlist in November 1993, it is my privilege to announce the 17th Annual ARSlist Awards, Call For Nominations.

It was also to provide posters an incentive to keep providing those excellent technical replies and perhaps improve the humour. The Rules for Nominations and some General Rules: * An individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources * The years postings are somewhat reviewed to ensure that this is someone who posts quality answers. ( Not that anyone has ever been rejected on this basis) * Only those that have registered on the ARSlist before August 1st. 2012 will be eligible to vote. It is assumed you won't vote if you haven't been around long enough to know the posters in question. In the unlikely event of another tie, the person or product with the greatest number of sources of votes will be declared winner. If it is still a tie, a panel of past winners will convene to break the tie. * Voting and nominating is by the Individual REAL person, so redistribution lists don't vote, your identity must be known, and those that have multiple subscriptions still get only one vote * BMCSoftware employees on the ARSlist are eligible to vote * All decisions of myself or the oversight panel are final (if I have to make a controversial decision, I confer with 3 past MVP winners for their opinion) * Nominations posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to d...@wwrug.com * Votes posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to d...@wwrug.com Past MVP [Most Valuable Poster Award] recipients are: 2011 Misi Mladoniczky 2010 Joe D'Souza 2009 Dr. Christopher Strauss 2007 Rick Cook 2006 Axton Grams --- 2005 Tim Widowfield 2004 Matt Reinfeldt 2003 Carey Matthew Black 2002 Chris Woyton 2001 Gidd Calden 2000 Jarl Groneng, Tommy Nijem 1999 Rick Cook 1998 Raymond Leach 1997 Vicky Bayol 1996 Joel D.

Re: WWRUG ARSLIST Awards
Michael, You're right, of course. Dan looked for the NZ person first. There were a few small technical glitches in the ARSLIST Awards event, and the potential for distraction (and catastrophic sugar rush) was great. The Jet Lag Award might depend on which direction you flew We'll just have to ask Dan!
