I was on holiday snowboarding in the French Alps when I received this wonderful email from IBM …

My comments:
Wicked! Motivates one to spend more time giving back. Watch out during 2013, as I release new courses, new mobile apps and more technical consultancy offerings.

What is an IBM Champion?
The IBM Champion program recognizes exceptional contributors to the technical community, who are non-IBMers that work alongside IBM to build solutions for a smarter planet. An IBM Champion is a developer or IT professional who leads and mentors his or her peers and motivates them toward IBM solutions and services. Champions can be found running user groups, managing websites, speaking at conferences, answering questions in online forums, and writing blogs, how-to articles, and technical books. The IBM Champion program recognizes and thanks these innovative thought leaders, amplifying their voice and increasing their sphere of influence in the technical community.
