Please keep those coming! Orleans is no longer “our” project, but it truly is “your” product now!\r\n\r\nLastly, it would be remiss of me not to ask you to visit the JAX web site and carefully consider how to cast your votes. :smile:  There are many great infrastructure software projects on the JAX Awards list which are helping to bring in a new era of robust cloud-scale systems.\r\nhttp://jaxenter.com/jax-awards-2015/submit-your-vote\r\n\r\nThank you!\r\nJorgen, on behalf of the Orleans Core Team.\r\n\r\n----------\r\nFor reference, the candidates for JAX Awards Nominees for 2015 are:\r\n\r\n# Most Innovative Open Technology #\r\n-\tKubernetes\r\n-\tGroovy\r\n-\tApache Mesos\r\n-\tlogstash\r\n-\tHomebrew\r\n-\tNginx\r\n-\tNode-RED\r\n-\tDropwizard\r\n-\tDocker Orchestration\r\n-\tAkka\r\n-\tSocketplane\r\n-\tWeave\r\n-\tTachyon\r\n-\tMicrosoft Orleans\r\n\r\n# Most Innovative Java Technology #\r\n-\tNodyn\r\n-\tApache Storm\r\n-\tOpenHAB\r\n-\tApache Kafka\r\n-\tNeo4J\r\n-\tApache Cassandra\r\n-\tJava 8\r\n-\tJRebel\r\n-\tVaadin\r\n-\tNASA\r\n"}}
