SourceCon Community,

Depending on when you read this...

Good morning.
Good afternoon.
Good evening.
Good night.

At the last SourceCon event, we recognized a Quiet Hero, someone who has been instrumental in growing SourceCon's reach and influence by contributing their time, talent, and resources to benefit the SourceCon community. In case you missed it, that person was Ronnie Bratcher.

Well, the next SourceCon event is rapidly approaching! (Have you registered yet?) And as such, its time to nominate a new Quiet Hero. Do you know someone who has, for years, been instrumental in growing SourceCon's reach and influence by contributing their time, talent, and resources to benefit others in the community? If so, click here to nominate them for the Quiet Hero award and if chosen, they will be recognized in San Diego. All nominations will be judged by the SourceCon Illuminati and… what? You never heard of the SourceCon Illuminati? I’m not surprised as ignorance is by design.

The SourceCon Illuminati are a group of industry leaders and practitioners who will be judging the nominations.

The SourceCon Illuminati are people you know, have seen at SourceCon events, and are quite active on social media.

The SourceCon Illuminati have been sworn to secrecy and pledged by their sacred honor to not reveal who they are to anyone.

The SourceCon Illuminati is prone to pranks. If you see someone claiming to be a member, they could be. Or, they could be lying. Trust no one.

All that to say, click this link and nominate the person(s) you think is worthy of being recognized and why. I'm not in the loop so I will be in the dark as everyone else until the day of SourceCon when I will be presenting the award. At least, that's what I have been told.

SourceCon is like 3 weeks away so nominate NOW and often!

How often do you change the wallpaper on your PC or change your Facebook banner? If you are like me, that answer is less than some but more than others.
