 Marcelo Leal of OHAC community got 3 awards including his HA NFS/ZFS agent without shared storage.

Also 4 CAs from India won awards in various categories.  This augurs very well for Sun's future in India and the efforts of the University Program team should be applauded. They do a fantastic job in reaching to tomorrow's IT folks.  I hope the lessons are learned and implemented in other geographies as well.

Congratulations Winners! You deserved it.
