SMI Outstanding Contribution Award - Scott Baker In recognition of his contributions to SMI-S 1.4 and the Disk Resource Management TWG, the SMI is giving Scott Baker of Olocity an SMI Outstanding Contribution Award. Scott owns and maintains six SMI profiles (including the Multiple Computer System and Extent Composition profiles) and has been at the cutting edge of some of our xml schema changes. Indeed, as part of the DRM content reviews, Scott is leading the charge in cleaning up multiple uses of several key classes used by the array profile and its component profiles. Equally important, Scott stepped in to be the co-chair of the Disk Resource Management TWG, which is covers the Array and Storage Virtualizer Profiles and is our most active TWG. Scott's organized approach to running the meetings has kept work flowing through DRM.
