Yes, congratulations Arron, hopefully the award in some way
compensates for all those years herding cats... I mean errr Linux
geeks!  It's clear that under Arron's stewardship we've become (by
far) one of the most successful Linux groups in the UK; something
which is perhaps indicative of how hard a job it is!  Arron's proved
that herding cats is indeed possible... and thankfully that you don't
have to be EDS to do it:

Purely by chance I happened to meet one of the awards organisers
(Alastair Broom) at a management course on Friday/Saturday and he
spoke very highly... maybe even enviously? :-) of the Dundee Linux
scene.  So again, congratulations to Arron and everyone else who make
the Dundee Linux/FLOSS scene what it is!
