Winners Of XML Superstar Contest Announced

By Doug Caverly

If you don't consider yourself too old to have posters in your bedroom (or at least the garage), the International DB2 Users Group (IDUG) has identified some people deserving of wall space.  It recently announced seven winners of its "The Search for the XML Superstar" competition.

Around 75,000 people from 25 nations submitted applications to the contest.  Brazil's Renzo Nuccitelli won first place overall, and so seems like someone who's really earned a place on a pedestal among XML professionals.  Nuccitelli's email address must be a hot commodity right now as people seek advice or try to make a hire.

Otherwise, India's Anil Mahadev was named top developer in the "Ported Application" category.  Yasuhiro Nonaka of Japan won the "Query Challenge" contest.

Then, an official release goes on to state, "Dual winners of the 2008 'Gadget Challenge' competition were Ontario, Canada's Zaidan Alaoui and Maharashtra, India's Vibha Pandya. . . .  Rahsheen Porter, Grayson, Geo. (USA) and his video entry and Rendra Setiawan, Jakarta, Indonesia, were winners of the 'Video Mania' contest."

Congratulations all around to these champs.  And the many runners-up should remember that it might not be too early to start practicing for next year's contest.
