Company, organization or individual being nominated for the SD Times 100. Remember, this is not a product award!

*

Please help us categorize your nominations. You may select more than one, if appropriate.

These categories are suggestions only, and may not match those used in the 2009 SD Times 100. We reserved the right to move nominees to a more appropriate category, without notice.

*

In your own words, please describe what the nominee did, in calendar year 2008, that demonstrated innovation and leadership in the software development community. In other words, how did the nominee set the agenda for the industry, advance the state of the art, and get everyone talking?

(We strongly suggest limiting your comments to a paragraph or two that focus on specific 2008 accomplishments. General descriptions of the nominee, or long cut-and-paste comments, will not help the judges understand why you are nominating the nominee for this year's SD Times 100.)

Please provide YOUR contact information, in case we have questions about your nomination. (While this is not required, anonymous nominations carry less credibility with the judges.)
