My first instinct on hearing about this award was, "why another FOSS medicine award". However, Ignacio cannot very well give the LMN award to himself, and his contribution warrants recognition.

LMN is the only place that is really central to the FOSS medical community. It is the gateway to our community, it is here that I was first introduced to VistA and to the PHP projects. I know for a fact that LMN requires far more effort than most people imagine.

Well deserved congratulations!
