With an OK from Orion, who regrettably couldn't attend, I presented the award to
Kevin at the closing ceremonies yesterday. LDraw is core to how we communicate
and share with each other in the hobby; so I'm glad when a recipient is able to
be recognized on stage in front of peers, users, and prolific builders.
Kevin, I was especially honored to be able to present the award to you. I also
really enjoyed the times we got to chat during the event and at meals,
reminisce, and talk about possibilities for the future of LDraw tools and LEGO
CAD.
Especially after your LPub session, I'm blown away with the amount of effort
you've put in to making it easy for anyone with an LDraw/MLCad file to pump out
professional-grade building instructions. This award has been well deserved for
some time, though this year it was especially timely. I'm glad the SteerCo and
the Jessimans chose to recognize you with this.
Your friend,
Tim Courtney
