Last night I attended the 2009 NSW Pearcey Awards & a few people I know were honoured for their work. These are all dynamic intelligent people who are passionate about technology but who also have put in a lot of effort into building community among the tech and startup folks in Sydney.

@rabieburns – Ian Gardiner, winner of the 2009 Pearcey Award, he’s done amazing stuff in business with Viocorp & still always finds time to help build up and connect Aussie startups

@eliasbiz – Elias Bizannes received a special recognition award & is well known for his activities in building up the tech/startup community in Australia especially via his baby Silicon Beach Australia and on the Data Portability project

@tjoosdude & @tjoosgirl – Bart Jellema & Kim Chen received a special recognition award; in their spare time they are founders of a successful startup called TJoos.com and have also been active in building up the Sydney tech community via Silicon Beach Australia.

@Wickedboy – Scott-Bradley Pearce also scored a special recognition award and in his spare time is Digital Video and Media Consultant at One In Ten Productions
