Can I ask for the list of the bloggers that was partipating? It would be very helpful to subscribe to them... I guess there are many like Javier's. :)

Congrats to everyone!!! Great work. I certainly agree with the hard work of the people I have interacted with. I'm sure the ones I haven't interacted with have done excellent in their categories as well.

Congratulations yet again!

Everyone in the list really deserves it. Also, many people that are not directly in this list also deserves a great thanks. A community is growth by people that are really willing to invest their spare time to help others, and this volunteering by itself is already enough to be congratulated. I also wanted to see in the next year's list the person that mostly contributed to Documentation, because as developers, we all know how hard is to keep the entire documentation up to date.

Cheers,

Felicidades Javier!

Aprovecho la ocación para contarles hoy con mi equipo de desarrollo hemos comprado su libro.

Luego de verlo por primera vez, ya puedo asegurarles que Javier ha hecho un gran trabajo generando material de estudio y consulta en español.

Todos sus aportes nos seran muy útiles en un proyecto, que recien comienza a gestarse, en convenio con una universidad local: La modernización de los sistemas y portal del Honorable Senado de la Nación Argentina :)
