07/30/2005: "Gordon Pask Award for Contributions to Agile Practice"

I am proud to announce that Jim Shore and I were awarded the first two Gordon Pask awards for our contributions to Agile practice. I know Jim best for his tremendous background work (or so it seems -- he's not the kind of spotlight hog that I can be) in uniting the Fit community and aligning the various versions of the product. Jim is certainly the sort of person I would want to work with before I hang up my keyboard.

The Agile Alliance has recognized me for my traffic on the various Yahoo! groups (junit, testdrivendevelopment and extremeprogramming), for JUnit Recipes, for organizing XP Day North America and overseeing the tutorials at Agile 2005. I thanked the audience Thursday night, but I'd like to thank everyone in the Agile community for giving me space to try to help. I'm glad to have been of some service.
