And moreover some outing: I hate that, it reminds me a bit of employee of the month at McDonalds (if you would do that in a common German company the slaves would ... [I better censor it]). Beyond - ahem - ahead all that and being pretty proud to do it long before any dead line ... and without real intending of any insultings to others ... and of course with not wishing any harm for 'my' nominees! ... (or the others, sure) ... my suggestions are ... (had to re-think the above again ... yes, it still stands): Jacques C and Robert Israel and acer (in any permutation). The reasons are: - low costs for Maple - I admire their contributions - they are pretty sound - reading them helps to catch substantials in Maple and &nbsp; underlying Math (here only 1 permutation applies, which is obvious). </pre> The latest comments added to the Post, Maple Mentor of the Year: Call for Nominations 69913 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:46:07 Z Axel Vogt Axel Vogt http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/38751-Maple-Mentor-Of-The-Year-Call-For-Nominations?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maple Mentor of the Year: Call for Nominations:Comments#comment69911 <p>that I would like to add is Alec Mihailovs.</p> <p>Reasons:</p> <p>His outstanding and longstanding contributions to Maple Primes and many other Maple communities.

There are quite a few here that provide such useful help. Like Axel Vogt, if I had to narrow it down to three, I too would recommend Jacques C, Robert Israel, and acer . Adding a fourth, would definitely include Doug Meade. They are each very exceptional, while each has their own way of going about helping. Acer, seems to me to be someone I can understand easily, at my level of understanding. Jacques, usually brings a special insight into most any topic. Doug Meade goes out of his way to make sure a question is answered, and that the person understands the answer.</p> <p>But... as I&nbsp;think I mentioned before, Robert Israel would quailify as my mentor, and thus my number one pick.<br /> &nbsp;</p> The latest comments added to the Post, Maple Mentor of the Year: Call for Nominations 69831 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:02:27 Z Tim Van Dusen Tim Van Dusen http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/38751-Maple-Mentor-Of-The-Year-Call-For-Nominations?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maple Mentor of the Year: Call for Nominations:Comments#comment69827 <p>I am flattered to be nominated, but you guys should carefully looked at what the winner <a href="http://www.maplesoft.com/studentcenter/prizes.aspx">will get</a>.&nbsp; The winner is supposed to go talk to Maplesoft developers (for a week) and the subtext is that they will listen to the concerns and advice of an esteemed member of the MaplePrimes community.</p> <p>But that isn't really true.&nbsp; There are some members of the MaplePrimes community (yours truly included) who have too much history with Maplesoft to offer advice which would be adequately and objectively evaluated.&nbsp; The nominee needs to be someone whose advice stands a chance of making an impact.&nbsp; I will let other nominees comment themselves on whether they think they could serve in this role.</p> The latest comments added to the Post, Maple Mentor of the Year: Call for Nominations 69827 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 21:34:52 Z JacquesC JacquesC
