I'm happy to announce that the CFEmmy awards have now evolved into the Adobe Community Achievement Awards. I started the CFEmmys a few years ago as a way for community members to recognize the outstanding achievements of their peers for the sometimes thankless work they do to grow our community. I'm really excited that Liz and Nafisa have thrown their support behind this effort - it should be a blast to present the awards at CFUnited.

Nominations are being accepted until June 8. Feel free to nominate those who you think deserve to be on the ballot. We'll hold a round of voting once all the nominations are in and the winners will be announced during CFUnited in August.

I'm a bit surprised that not many folks have asked me about the CFemmy awards this year, but there is good news and bad news.

The bad news is that there will be no CFemmy awards this year.

The votes have closed and have been tallied. Here are your 2007 CFeMmy winners:
