I and the DB2 community all have a lot of people and organizations to thank. DB2's GOT TALENT 2014 involved a tremendous time commitment from many people. Allow me to please thank our contestants, our judges, and our sponsors!
Thank goodness for talented people in our DB2 community that were brave enough, and generous enough, to share their DB2 knowledge with the DB2 community. Via DB2's GOT TALENT, year after year, we have nurtured rising stars in our DB2 community and, in turn, they have enriched our lives, grown our skills, made us laugh, entertained us, and helped to build a stronger DB2 community. Without contestants, we couldn't have a contest! Each year it seems to get more difficult to find contestants - hopefully this trend can be reversed in 2015! Our top 10 Finalists have all won a $50 Amazon.com gift card thanks to our sponsor Triton Consulting.
Martin Hubel, Klaas Brant, and Susan Visser each devoted over eight hours of their valuable time to act as our judges, not to mention this is their 4th year volunteering their time! Ember Crooks and Cristian Molaro also filled in as substitute judges, and @ember_crooks wrote amazing and helpful blogs about every DB2's GOT TALENT show! Our judges were always kind, loving, and helpful, and, thanks to their advice, you could see presentation skills improve with every contestant presentation. Connect with these industry leaders via LinkedIn and continue to grow our DB2 community and your skills!
Our kind, loving, helpful, thoughtful, Judges -->> | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
