Mr. Lancelot :-D), for caring about KDE users and their needs/opinions/irritations/complaints (even if objectively unfounded), and discussing and explaining stuff with super-human patience and goodwill. Albert Astals Cid, for his extensive and persistent work on Okular and its PDF backend, Poppler. It's the kind of work that doesn't get too much publicity most of the time, but makes a big difference, because it ensures the quality and continual improvement of one of KDE's most used (and loved) flagship products. Nuno Pinheiro. I think no explanation is needed... :-) Martin Gräßlin, for his commendable initiative of being very public and verbose about changes that are happening in "his" part of the KDE codebase (so that users can understand what's going on and the reasons behind it), and even experimenting with "officially" involving user feedback into the decision-making process where it makes sense. Lydia Pintscher, for all the amazing organizational and community work regarding GSoC, Season of KDE, Code-In, IRC tutorials, and much more. Jos Poortvliet, for countering conflicts and fears within the KDE community with reflective, cool-headed and mediating blog posts. Of course there are many more, but those are the ones that come to my mind right away... Ivan Čukić (a.k.a.
