"I'd like to nominate my good friend Hans Speijer and Enrico Lori. Hans is currently porting IK Multimedia's Groovemaker and will probably be heavily involved with their other products on the BeOS aswell. He's been with the BeOS community for a long time (A bit longer then me even :)) ) and was my successor at Be Europe. He been a BeOS advocate for a long time as well and currently programming BeOS audio (IK stuff) is the way he makes his living."

"Enrico of course is IK's CEO. IK isn't a big company, but still they undertook the effort of porting their products to BeOS and make them shine. What is more, on ECTS the guy demoing IK's stuff was Enrico himself! He took time to come to England and stand on a show for 3 days to help further the cause of audio on the BeOS. (And let me tell you, doing a show for 3 days in murder!)"
