The prize was won by Karl Olav Wroldsen Avdelingsdirektør IT / CIO
Skattedirektoratet. He is for sure a very clever director and I do not have evidence to criticize the decision. But DND had a possibility to make visible that mysql is directed from Trondheim (Norway) and competent IT engineers from NTNU. mysql is one of the most important software systems in the world, used by facebook, linked in, google, youtube, other important companies. Bedre lykke neste gang – riprova sarai piu’ fortunato.

Geir nominated to the dataforening prize for IT director of the year. I just get an sms that on his flight to Oslo he was sitting near to Petter Nortug. It sounds promising.
