Showcasing the 2007 Star Award Winners
DMTF presents its Star Awards on an annual basis to those members
whose volunteer support has significantly contributed to the success of
the organization over the previous year. At the Management Developers
Conference this past December, DMTF toasted to the following 2007
Star Award winners:
- Ron Goering, IBM: As the System Virtualization, Partitioning
and Clustering (SVPC)
Work Group Co-Chair, Ron worked tirelessly to shepherd the development
of virtualization management within the work group and all the other
parts of DMTF.
- Daniel Hiltgen, VMware: As a contributor to the SVPC work
group, Dan’s DMTF work portfolio includes involvement in the
development of the basic virtualization architecture, how to deal with
storage and network virtualization, and contributions to the
schema.
- David Hines, Intel: As a major contributor to DMTF, David’s
proposals and dogged pursuit of Opaque Data and wireless NIC support
are just a few of his contributions. Not only has he developed the data
models for these new areas, but he has also authored the
specifications.
- Michael Johanssen, IBM: As the architect and editor of the
Virtual System Profile (DSP1057)
and System Virtualization Profile (DSP1042),
Michael has been willing to put in the long hours needed to develop
truly excellent profiles.
- Joe Kozlowski, Dell: As a crucial member of the Desktop and
Mobile Working Group (DMWG),
Joe’s perseverance to see specifications through to completion has led
to his seeing the transfer publication of the Message Registry
Specification from WIP
and into the Process committee.
- Larry Lamers, VMware: As the SVPC Co-Chair, Larry has done
an immense amount of work assembling the v2.4 draft of
DSP0004, the CIM Infrastructure Specification.
- Andy Maier, IBM: As the primary lead of the UML
Profile for CIM, Andy continues to be critical to the success of
this effort. He is also one of the most prodigious change request
authors in the Architecture
Work Group.
- Will Pagán, IBM: As one of the strongest technical
contributors to the System Management Forum (SMF) in its two
years of operation, Will has shown constant awareness of the importance
of SMF to DMTF and to the industry as a whole, and has led SMF's
activities accordingly with great energy to make it achieve its
ends.
- Hemal Shah, Broadcom: As a key contributor to the DASH and PMCI
efforts, Hemal’s detailed expertise in network protocols and embedded
implementations has been valuable in getting these standards properly
specified and referenced in the Implementation Requirements
specifications.
- Nihar Shah, Microsoft: Nihar has worked on the
virtualization architecture in many aspects but is best known for work
on the network aspects. Virtual networks is a complex issue, but Nihar
has written a white paper and diagrams to help get a solution worked
out.
- Michelle Sibilla - IRIT labs, Paul Sabatier University:
Michelle worked hard to coordinate our October 2007 Academic Alliance Workshop in
Toulouse, France. Her tireless work and attention to detail made the
event a great success and well-represented DMTF in all of our global
Alliances.
Congratulations to these dedicated volunteers, and thank you for your
contributions in the development, industry adoption and success of DMTF
standards and initiatives!
