For he is a jolly good Fellow. . .

CIP4 ran seminars and showed samples on JDF connectivity during the show, and also took the opportunity to have working meetings for the members. This years Fellowship Award was also announced, and it went rightfully to Henny van Esch at MIS vendor Optimus. The CIP4 Fellowship Award ”recognizes individuals whose contributions to the development of the Job Definition Format (JDF) Specification are both substantial and significant to the integrity and function of JDF, as well as individuals who may have contributed to the industry’s adoption of JDF by educating manufacturers of JDF systems and JDF users and/or by actively disseminating information about JDF.” Our congratulations to Henny, and also congrats to CIP4 who can celebrate that the JDF format is 10 years old this year, launched originally at DRUPA 2000. Time flies.
