 No offense, but I think other developers should be mentioned as well. I
 very much like wez' work on innovative ideas - even though his results

 But generally, I think honoring hard working developers is a good idea,
 as they only seldomly get positive feedback on their work (what they
 certainly deserve).

Come on, it's an award, they pick individuals.  I think Derick and Jani
deserved that award with good margin, because the type of work they do
often has limited reward compared to the amount of energy they put into
it.

There'll be a chance for everyone ;-)

If any of us did the work we do for the money (in commerical), the
recognition, or the fame (as such) then PHP, Open Source and the whole
bleeding edge programming community wouldnt be where it is now. Every
developer who has taken up the text editor and coded for the sheere hell
of expanding the current realm of known computing (eg: expanding PHP's
functionality, contributing to projects such as FreeBSD etc) deserves
recognition like this.

The prize comes from self gratification more than anything - and although
decoration may be nice this IS an award for everyone who has worked on the
PHP project. Although its Derick and Jani's names on the trophy, we all
know that its a group effort - hence the name PHP _Group_.

If anything we should all be proud of what we all have accomplished.

 There'll be a chance for everyone ;-)

Just my 2c if that makes any sense :P

Daniel: Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Derick and Jani seem to be by far the most active PHP developers, so much
so that I have often thought of them.  It's a shame that I don't have
enough time to put into PHP so that they don't have to work quite so
hard!

Err, do they actually get anything tangible with this award?
Like a plaque, statue, software or cash??

hi,

 Congratulations Derick.
 Most deserving recognition for a terrific job.
 I will add to that my humble thanks.

No offense, but I think other developers should be mentioned as well. I very
much like wez' work on innovative ideas - even though his results might not be
suitable for the masses (such as having PHP client-sided embedded into redmond's
