Ah ok - I think that was actually mentioned in  Paolo's original post but I
forgot the context.

Agreed.

Paolo on reading the back messages again and Markus' message, I'm
backtracking a little on whether it is a good idea to apply ourselves for
such an award. It seems to me a little strange to apply for an award on
behalf of ourselves - it would make much more sense to me if they e.g. ran
a survey of attendees or derived the nominations from adoring fans rather
than it coming from us.

Regards

Tim
