Meet OutShare 2011 Winner: João Rato!

One of my personal highlights for NextStep 2012 was finally meeting João Rato in person.

Who is João Rato, you may ask? First and foremost, João is one of the main developers of the Município de Pombal (a Portuguese Municipality) intranet, a multi-purpose system continuously being developed in the OutSystems technology that it just so happens has already been awarded an Agility Award in 2011.

João came to our attention when he first became the person with most points in a quarter and then moved on to become the TOP OutShare participant for 2011! This won him a free stay in Lisbon to attend NextStep and a brand spanking new iPad 3 so he can test all the new Agile Platform 7.0 development improvements!

Not only that, it turns out João is also a great guy to boot! Great attitude, friendly demeanour, broad smile… everything you come to expect from a person that works with great technology, I guess. :)

Seriously, though, people like João are always a credit to the community they are a part of, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank him for being such an avid OutSystems ambassador!
