I would like to nominate Shawn Caza, aka "otlichnik".

IMO, Shawn's breadth of knowledge and willingness to share it with others in a pleasant and encouraging way makes him worthy of consideration.

Good luck to all the nominees this year.

Pekka Kemppinen (Pekka K) - He is already a Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus, so not eligible.
Hans-Joachim Hoeft (Jochen) - Only one nomination or second per member. Also, he is already a Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus, so not eligible.
