I’m sitting here doing some reflecting. It has really been a roller coaster ride this last year for both sadeveloper and saarchitect. We have achieved great things far beyond our dreams in most areas, and have fallen short in a few others.
But all in all, thinking back the communities have shown yet again that when you get like minded people together with a common interest, aim to improve others though becoming champions and embracing you passion, You can achieve great things.
Personally, it has been a great year of personal growth for me, I have seen and achieved things that I did not think I could. This I owe to sadeveloper members. The community has grown as a family, sure we have had our little squabbles, but we have made friends.
People in the communities have stood behind me on many difficult decisions and I have come out (I believe) a better person.
So to sadevelop, saarchitect members, Microsoft, as well as any other community members You all ROCK!!!!. Embrace your passion in the year to come. I am behind all of you, all the way, embrace the communities and share your knowledge. Help yourself by helping others, and let’s make it our goal to grow each of us.
Let’s build the best IT resources this world has ever seen, right here in South Africa.
I raise my glass to all of you. Thank you all for a great 2004, and may 2005 be twice as great.
