Appaloosa Awards

New to the conference this year were the Appaloosa Awards, designed to reward the people and projects who have had a significant influence on Apache. The voting was open to Apache Week readers for one week and we received just under 3000 votes in total. The awards were announced on Tuesday evening at the conference by ASF member and Apache program co-chair Chuck Murcko.
