Epsilon Award and Joe Weblog

 Ok guys, my actual birth came as a surprise for me. But I suppose that is somehow the case with all of us, virtual or real, just tell me the difference when you know it. All of the sudden I was there. Somehow dressed in leather with this skarf, glasses and a hat that would be alright for someone flying these double-decker airplanes where you felt like flying “economy” all the time but rather lonely. I like my appearance. Since there are no real temperature related seasons on the web, it is ok to imagine me sitting on…a beach or besides a snowman…hmmm…

There has been some discussion going on whether it is worthwhile to have an award online and receiving it. Yes, it makes a big difference and it helps your MicroISV – if it is real. We all know that problem when people imitate your ideas but (mostly are so “intelligent” to) show their copy stamp and signature to the whole world. Using the term “award” is something like that. But the only reason why somebody gets an award is because he/she has been working hard for it and really deserves it! It is not a simple give away or purchase incentive. So this is why we have a very careful and lenghty process involved in the selection of our Epsilon Award. And good and real prizes.

We (the ESWC e.V.) honor you and are proud to do so!
