A merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you and your families! This post is going to be a great thank you to some of the people out there that I consider being special!

This year was really great for me as it started with my semester abroad in the US - hey Travis and Amy! I met a lot of new and good friends there: Aron, David, Jesse and Gabi.

During the semester abroad I started working on timtab which made me kind of known in the TYPO3 community now.

After that semester being back in Germany I worked some time for d.k.d in Frankfurt, thanks for the great oportunity to all at d.k.d!

Then back in September there was the great TYCON3 event where I met many of the folks that I was only exchanging emails with until that time. Here the greetings go to punkt.de and Andreas, Martin and Jan from T3N magazine. The TYCON3 also was the time fo a extension release chase where timtab was released in TER for the first time, too.

After that I got some presents from my amazon wishlist. Thanks to Gerald Fränkl, Michael Janssen, Jens Schaller and Kay Herzam.

In October I did a little job for netcreators, thank you Ben.

Other people without any special context: Rupert, Sven, Basti and Astrid, Sabrina, Sandra, Katja, Kathleen, all from the "famous Römer WG" and all the friends I forgot here in any way.

To all of you a merry christmas and a happy new year, see you all in 2006!

yours Ingo
