Hi Fazila,
Look like a MT cache curruption issue.
Try hard deelting the MT cache file and then start the service again.
This will re-build the fresh cache files.

I hope it was working in the past right?

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?

Categories now open

Daniel has chosen to do things a bit differently this year.  He has decided
to let the incumbent MVP, that's me this year, run the Awards.

 

This is the 18th Annual ARSlist Awards, Call For Nominations.

 

These awards were created by Daniel in 1995 to recognize the efforts of
posters asking questions, those providing answers, and sometimes even of
those providing what is titled as Friday Humor, and even sometimes gets a
laugh.

 

It was also to provide posters an incentive to keep providing those
excellent technical replies and perhaps improve the quality of the jokes
(but that doesn't seem to ever happen).

 

The Rules for Nominations and some General Rules:

 

* An individual wishing to submit a nomination for MVP must also provide a
short description of WHY they deserve to be MVP for the nomination to be
considered (this is a change from previous years requiring two independent
nominations)

* 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 July 3rd 2013 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

* BMC Software employees on the ARSlist are eligible to vote

* All decisions of Daniel or the oversight panel are final (if a
controversial decision is needed, 3 past MVP winners will be asked for their
opinion)

* Nominations posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to
arslistawa...@wwrug.com

* Votes posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to
arslistawa...@wwrug.com

* Any MVP from the last 5 years and anyone from the WWRUG committee are not
eligible for nomination

 

Past MVP [Most Valuable Poster Award] recipients are:

-

2012 LJ LongWing

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. Sender

1995 Martin Nystrom

 

So, the two open categories are

-

*MVP - Most Valuable Poster.

 

This is the person you feel has contributed the most to the list in a
combination of quality and quantity.  Anyone who has won the award in the
last 5 years, current BMC or BMC Remedy employees are not eligible.  An
individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources.

 



BMC Software Employee: Beyond the Call of Duty Award (Note, they must be a
current employee to qualify)

 

Again, an individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources.

 



Nominations for other Categories are also open until July 21st

 

Nominate a potential winner for another Category while you suggest the
category if you wish

[no Nominations, no Award will be conferred in that category there must be
more than one Nomination for a category etc.]

 

Please send nominations to arslistawa...@wwrug.com

 

Software categories are currently being handled by on-site Awards at WWRUG
with the vendors in the Showcase being eligible. The ARSlist Awards are not
currently contemplating software categories.

 

Time Lines:

 

July 3rd : This message is posting opening Nominations

July 21st : Nominations for MVP and other categories close

July 22nd: Voting begins for 4 weeks for MVP and other categories

August 18th: The voting closes at 5 p.m. EST

Thursday October 3rd at WWRUG13: Award Ceremony during the WWRUG Awards
keynote.  [no one knows the winner(s) until then, well okay, except me and
the plaque company]

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. Let this be your way of contributing even
though you might not otherwise actively participate on this list.

 

Cheers

 

Joe

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

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.

I had the same question in the back of my head Joe, probably for the same
reason. ;)

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?

Daniel has chosen to do things a bit differently this year.  He has decided
to let the incumbent MVP, that's me this year, run the Awards.

 

This is the 18th Annual ARSlist Awards, Call For Nominations.

 

These awards were created by Daniel in 1995 to recognize the efforts of
posters asking questions, those providing answers, and sometimes even of
those providing what is titled as Friday Humor, and even sometimes gets a
laugh.

 

It was also to provide posters an incentive to keep providing those
excellent technical replies and perhaps improve the quality of the jokes
(but that doesn't seem to ever happen).

 

The Rules for Nominations and some General Rules:

 

* An individual wishing to submit a nomination for MVP must also provide a
short description of WHY they deserve to be MVP for the nomination to be
considered (this is a change from previous years requiring two independent
nominations)

* The years postings are
