Since I learned last week, that I am going to receive the SAGE Outstanding Achievement Award today, I have been thinking about how to explain this to my non-geek friends. Is it more of an oscar for computer specialists or rather a noble price for system administrators? In any event I am happy and greatful to receive this award. I would also like to extend my thanks to all the users and contributors to these tools who have made them such a success over the years. Especially to Dave Rand whos contributions got me back into working on MRTG back in 1996. In September I have finally quit my job at the University. I am now working in my own company specialising in system management and network monitoring. I am also at the moment talking to several parties who are interested in sponsoring MRTG and RRDtool development. I am confident that I will soon have more time to spend on improving and enhancing the tools than ever before. In other words, the award comes exactly at the right moment. Thank you very much !
