Hi,
Thanks for this initiative, I'm happy to nominate V SREENIVAS:

For his expertise in Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) and strong involvement. He's the first person I think of when it comes to CDF and his contributions to open source are truly impressive.

I am nominating Andrea Frittoli for the CDF Enthusiast Award. Over the last year he has met with so mutiple companies, given so many talks, and has been an amazing advocate on behalf of the CDF as TOC Chair, and advocate and maintainer for CDEvents and Tekton. He is always positive and his passion for the CDF and the projects he works on is inspiring!
