The PosDev award is to recognize those in the industry who are providing independent critical thinking through blogs or other collaboration. Winners of this award will be recognized in a post on the Wikibon sites, they can use the PosDev logo on their site and they will receive a book on a technical (such as a book on virtualization) or community (such as Cognitive Surplus or Switch) topic. Any Wikibon member can give this award; it requires the write-up and sending the winner a book. Help contribute to the PosDev initiative: make or edit an entry on the wiki, join us for a Peer Incite call, let us know of some of the great content that you see and most importantly, nominate people by contacting me via email or Twitter. See more background on the PosDev award in the initial blog post.
