+*Schrep nominated Ted for "seriously kicking ass to fix tests to not fail intermittently" Let's hear it for Ted!
+*Asa asks that you all recognize all the people that prepared and delivered great talks, discussions, and presentations at the Summit.
+*Asa also wanted to recognize John Lilly and the Steering Committee for supporting the biggest and most productive gathering of the Mozilla community ever.
+*Last, and definitely not least, too many people to list wrote in nominating Dan Portillo for the amazing job he did in organizing and managing the 2008 Firefox+ Summit. This was the largest event undertaking in Mozilla's history and Dan rocked it!! Let's have a giant round of applause for Dan!
 Please send FotT nominations to [mailto:asa@mozilla.org asa@mozilla.org]. This is a great opportunity for the community to recognize those who go above and beyond, so please tell me when you see that happening. Thanks.
