Hello, I've written the official citation for Mike Hansen who won the 2009 Spies Sage Development prize.
The 2009 Spies Sage Development Prize ($500) is awarded to Michael Hansen for his work on redesigning the Sage documentation system to use Sphinx, porting Sage's symbolics to Pynac, and his massive contributions to the combinatorics codebase, which led to the MuPAD-combinat community moving over to Sage. Over the last 3 years, Hansen has also done extensive work refactoring the Sage notebook, fixing bugs all over Sage, writing documentation, and restructing old code. He has been an active leader in the Sage community, helping to organize and participate in numerous Sage Days workshops, refereeing hundreds of patches, and actively supporting users on the mailing lists. Hansen's work on Sage consistently combines a humble and kind demeanor with a brilliant knowledge of the Python eco-system. The Spies Sage Development Prize is an annual award worth $500 that will be given to a person who makes major and inspiring contributions to the development of the Sage Mathematical Software System. The goal of the prize is to acknowledge the recipient and to encourage him or her to continue to do excellent development work on Sage. It is funded by donations to the Sage Foundation by Jaap Spies, and cannot be awarded to the same person twice. http://www.sagemath.org/development-prize.html Harald -- can you update the webpage? -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
