Where's the IBM Lotus Collaboration Champion Program
Category Data Champion Adam Gartenberg
Adam Garternberg blogged about a great new program IBM are starting "to recognize all of the people that spend their time and energy giving back to the community that has built up around IBM's data management products." I have long argued that IBM has needed something along the lines of the very successful Microsoft MVP program, it looks like IBM is getting it. It would be great to see something along these lines announced at/pre Lotusphere for the IBM Lotus Community as there are some great individuals out there that deserve to be recognised. One's that spring to mind for me for really helping the Lotus Community with code, blogs, podcasts etc. would be:
Nathan Freeman
Julian Robicheaux
Mikkel Heisterberg
Andre Guirard
Chris Miller
Bruce Elgort
There are others obviously who I believe deserve recognition, and writing a list like this is always going to get me in trouble with friends for not writing their name down. Why not add the people you think should be recognised?
By the way, one blog that I really enjoy reading, and I swear this guy is some kind of genius, is Steve McDonagh. I always find his blog entries very funny.

First, I doubt anyone here is "starving for a little recognition". Most people, at least in this community, tend to be fairly well-adjusted and happy with their lives - and their level of recognition. If not, they can always start a blog ;)
Second, what is the point of your post, other than to sound self-righteous and piss on other people? So what if the IBM execs make millions - they figured out a way to get to their respective positions, so more power to them! Remember, we all have the same opportunities to reach those levels, if we so choose, so I don't begrudge someone else making it - and earning the subsequent remuneration.
In fact, based on your bringing up the IBM execs, I would say that the only person who IS upset (or jealous?) of the IBM execs is... well... you.
