[Geomoose-users] Governor's Commendation

[Dan Little]

This may have been posted to the list already, but GeoMOOSE has been awarded a Governor's Commendation by the Governor of Minnesota.  If you don't think this is a big deal, please check out the link and subsequent application (18 pages!). Just to get the application written required a lot of dedication.

I wish to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on this proposal.  Those of you who have taken the time to write down your thoughts on GeoMOOSE, its development, its past, and its future, really took me by surprise.  Writing software and working on these projects can be very fulfilling on their technical merits alone.  Writing the software and getting presented with cases where it has mattered and helped pushes it far past fulfilling; it makes it feel rewarding.   Seeing 18 pages come together from some of the very over worked, unappreciated, and usually under paid professionals I've grown to know in this community is nothing short of humbling.

Thank you everyone. Very much. Let's keep up the good work. :-)
