I apologize because I haven't had a blog in a while because I was overseas for vacation.
I'm a huge soccer fan so I went to watch my favorite Greek soccer team (Panathinaikos) play in Milan (Inter) for the Champions League. I had a great time, with great seats and what made it even more special was that we won. 
I'm back now and after parsing thru 480 emails I can now post a small blog.
For those of you who are not aware, NetApp has established, for some time now, User and Partner Communities. (aka NetApp Technology Network).
There's a lot of activity there among users, partners, NetApp SEs and internal NetApp developers. If you have a question for which you don't know the answer to, the community is your friend as there's always someone who has the answer be it another user, a partner or a developer.
The NetApp Technology Network has recently announced a contest to recognize users or partners for solutions or tools they've developed to solve day-to-day operational issues.
All of the submissions will be made available to all community members and the winners selected will have a choice of cash, for some of the top tools, or some electronic gadget, namely iPODs.
I would encourage everyone to participate. The goal of the contest is to promote collaboration among community members and help peers solve issues by leveraging tools already in existence.
You can find more information about the contest here.
