For starters, I have just finished processing all of the submissions.  Woo Hoo!!! So, if the month were to end today, the winners would be pretty much as you see them if you happened to be looking at the site right now.  Things will change a bit, though, because I have a period of reviewing submissions of the top point earners before officially announcing the winers.  Emanuele was just one example, but everybody's submissions get reviewed and there are often places that switch around at the end.

Well, after reviewing all of Emanuele's submissions, it seems like the outcome is what was expected.  He lost some of the submission points, but he is still in good shape for the grand prize.  So, instead of having over 100K points, he is around 80,000, which is still a tremendous measure of his contributions.

Marco is 2nd, with around 60,000 points, but knowing Marco he will be definitely fighting for that top spot.  Can he do it?....

Karl Shifflett is holding firm at 3rd place, but Rafaelle Garofalo is not too far behind with only a 5K difference between the two spots.

Chris Williams is holding firm, but Deepak Vasudevan is just behind him and I expect that he will climb very quickly and may even move up a couple of spots.  Deepak is very committed and also a longtime, very active member of the development community.

Below Deepak is where the tightest competition is and basically any spot is up for grabs.  Well, that is it for tonight, I wish everybody good luck and will continue on keeping everybody updated.
