Mario Kamenjak
Category: Non-Technical
Achievements:
Mario has been working hard during the last weeks to summarize the weekly Ubuntu community Q&A sessions on his personal blog and has then shared the blog posts on Google Plus. From the comments over there one can judge that his summaries have helped a lot of people, including me. Most weeks I don't have time to spend a whole hour watching the Q&A sessions so the summaries come in handy as they give me a great overview of what has been discussed and allow me to rewatch the parts which I am interested in by providing the respective time when a question was asked.
Additionally, he wrote a few cool Ubuntu related blog posts before that, e.g. here and here.

Niklas Wenzel
Category: Technical
Achievements:
- Niklas has given an outstanding effort in his work on implementing IMAP notifications into the accounts-polld service. It's a feature that has been missing for a long time now due to the platform app lifecycle policy, and I applaud his effort to try and do something about it.
- He is also a frequent committer to core-apps and is always providing help & advice on mailing lists, XDA and Ubuntu related social network groups.
