Huge congratulations to Iain, Johannes, and team :-)

I have to add a particular note of personal thanks here: it was 
Iain picking up the reins of GDC, and getting it to the point 
where a reasonably up to date D2 GDC made it into Ubuntu 12.04, 
that unlocked really getting to grips with the language for me.  
And that unlocked a host of wonderful professional and personal 
opportunities (including the one that gave me the pleasure of 
having Iain as a work colleague).

So I think we should recognize Iain, not just for the wonderful 
work he has done, but for the extent to which he has empowered 
other people to use D and do wonderful things with it.

It's one of the most important contributions that anyone can 
make.  So thank you Iain and team, and here's looking forward to 
all the other wonderful stuff you are making possible with this 
latest achievement :-)
