[edit] Alfresco Chumby Awards for Community Achievement
What is a Chumby and how do you score one? Simply put,
Chumbys are little marvels of technology that are about the size of a coffee cup, have a touch screen, connect wirelessly to the Internet and have a library of addon widgets. What is probably more interesting, especially to the Alfresco community, is that Chumbys are Linux-based, open-source development platforms.
Most people will use them as an alarm clock to wake them up in the morning, to view digital photos, to listen to Internet radio, to check the news, weather and sports, to look up a recipe — all of the usual ways that we interact with Internet-based devices.
We couldn’t think of a better way to reward community participation each month than to give a Chumby to the person who has answered the most questions on the forums. We can’t wait to see what clever Chumby web scripts our community members will build (think URL-based access to content and content services).

Peter Monks, Alfresco's consulting lead for North America is a familiar face on the forums. Peter shares his time, expertise and boundless energy answering questions and has accumulated a
mountain of points.
He has worked in the WCM field for the better part of a decade, and finds open source a very refreshing change after years of implementing legacy CMS products.

Aside from his many professional contributions, Peter regularly amuses his co-workers with his own unique, slightly unusual sense of humor.
