Our congratulations goes out to David Turner!
David's many contributions have been a wonderful asset to The Community. He was awarded today during the Arena Developer Roundtable, held in Dallas, TX. This roundtable was held in conjunction with the annual International Shelby Conference.
The Man In The Arena award goes to one person each year who has made an indelible contribution to the Arena project. The community of users, developers and partners are changed in a positive way due to the contributions of this recipient.
Did you know...?
One of the key inspirations for the name given to Arena (and thus the award) was the following speech:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt (excerpt from a speech delivered in Paris, 1910)
