The Chuck Yerkes Award is presented annually in recognition of outstanding individual contributions in online forums over the past year. It was created after Chuck Yerkes' untimely death in 2004 to memorialize the mentorship he provided countless system administrators through his helpful and accurate posts to system administration mailing lists. Each year, an awards committee selects someone who followed Chuck's example in the prior year in their contributions to system administration online forums—whether mailing lists, web forums, or chat rooms.

The LOPSA awards committee presents the 2009 Chuck Yerkes Award to Luke S. Crawford. Luke's writing has shown the patience, insight, and helpfulness that we should all strive to emulate in providing mentorship online.

LOPSA is pleased to present this award and congratulates Luke on this recognition from the community.
