MACTECH 25: MOST INFLUENTIAL IN MAC TECHNICAL COMMUNITY
- Public voting in June expresses people's choice
- The Mac technical community's most influential people

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 6, 2007 -- MacTech Magazine today announced
the 2007 MacTech 25: The Mac technical community's most influential people.
With open public voting that started in March, the MacTech 25 allowed the
community to recognize those who are the most influential -- through their
work, writing, or any other effort they may make.

Full list, pictures, and write ups at:
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.23/23.06/2007MacTech25/

The MacTech 25 is designed to recognize the technical contributions of
developers, writers, bloggers, problem-solvers and personalities to the
Macintosh technical community. The MacTech 25 is no popularity contest, nor
is it to "pick your favorite CEO." We looked for the most influential in
the Mac TECHNICAL market.

MacTech, and the community, would like to recognize the individuals below.
A full write up by Edward Marczak and Jeffrey Rochin with contributions by
Dean Shavit, including pictures, categories, and has been published in the
June issue of MacTech, just in time for this year's WWDC.

The rules of the voting were that anyone could vote. MacTech internal staff
and Xplain Corp. employees are ineligible. Apple employees are not
eligible for the list, but are eligible for honorable mention list.

About MacTech Magazine

Established in 1984, MacTech Magazine is the only monthly magazine focused
on Macintosh at the technical level. Each month, MacTech and MacTech.com is
read by over 125,000 technical Macintosh users in over 175 countries ...
from network administrators to programmers, from solution providers to
Enterprise, and in general anyone that's interested in the Macintosh beyond
the user level. MacTech's approach has always been that of "How-to" as
opposed to the "You can do this" articles in many magazines.

open source projects for the Mac, but also a community search engine and a
news aggregator to keep readers up to date with one look across the
community.
