Spotlight Award: walking on clouds
Posted by Theo Heselmans on January 21st, 2009
Remember I told you that I managed to get an entry submitted for the Teamstudio Spotlight Award 2009.
Well, it turned out I was one of the 3 finalists !
Just incredible !
I got a phone call from Lindsay informing me about this 10 days ago,
followed by a webex demo for the judges last Monday.
Tonight at the Teamstudio Reception in the Dolphin,
the finalists were announced for the public
(that's why I couldn't talk/brag about this sooner).
I actually ended up being the winner
and I'm extremely proud !!!
Kudos to the other finalists. You guys did great.
Thanks to Teamstudio for organizing this event.
This award makes it possible for developers, otherwise hardly known for doing a great job, to get in the spotlight for once.
Thanks to the judges too. I can imagine it's not easy picking out the 'best' applications/developers among all submitted entries.
If you doubted entering this contest: don't.
Submit your entry next year, for your 5 minute glory.

Knowing your passion for doing a superb job, I'm not suprised Theo.

Warmest congratluations
Couldn't happen to a nicer chap. Congratulations Theo! Now, can you tell us anything about the app? ;-)
Great news, congratulations!
Congratulations Theo! Those are indeed great news. Well done.
Congratulations Theo!
Theo, congratulations. Needless to say we are expecting a demo next week.
Theo, Great to read that you got the award. Congratulations.
Congratulations, Theo! That confimed me again that we are on the right track with your tool.
Great news big brother!!!
Theo,
I am used to get surprised by Notes developers from time to time with functionality that you would not associate with the classical Notes database application. But when I saw the eSurvey system for the first time I was really enthusiastic - a fully fledged web application, feature rich and easy to use. I really appreciated how we did the last release, it was fast, very constructive, and I really appreciated how you anticipated additional requirements that had not been specified. You have really earned this award!

Tx all of you who congratulated me (here on the blog, or live at LS). I am really honored.
As soon as I get the approval, I'll put some more information about eSurvey on this blog.
Hi Theo,
Congratulations with your award. Never doubted for a second that you would be the winner!
Enjoy
Congrats Theo!
Hi Theo
Ambitious as I know you are, you allways manage to show your rightful pride without showing any trace of haughtiness. That's what I like about you!
Great congratulations for a great guy!
