O texto oficial da nomeação do Nuno Fernandes!

The Sakai Foundation is pleased to announce the 2008 Sakai Fellows! The Sakai Fellows program seeks to foster community leadership and contribution through recognizing and supporting active contributors. The Sakai Fellows were selected from an outstanding set of nominees.

The Sakai Fellows selected for 2008 are:

Alan Berg, Universiteit van Amsterdam
Nuno Fernandez, Universidade Fernando Pessoa
David Horwitz, University of Cape Town
Beth Kirschner, University of Michigan
Maggie Lynch, Oregon Health & Science University
Stephen Marquard, University of Cape Town

None of these names come as a surprise to anyone who is involved in the Sakai project. I'm particularly impressed with the breadth of selections this year. Software engineering, teaching & learning, portfolios, quality assurance, localization and system administration are all represented among the fellows. And the fellows come from North America, Europe and Africa.

The entire pool of nominees was excellent and deserving of their nomination. There was no pre-established criteria for the nominees this year but the committee members each articulated the principles behind their selections. A summary of those reasons are posted on the 2008 Sakai Fellows wiki page at http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/x/FIF9AQ. In the future, it is likely that some of these principles will become formal rules or selection criteria.

Congratulations to all the nominees and, of course, the current group of Sakai Fellows!
