Daniel was nominated by Jim Halliday from Indiana University. In his nomination letter, Jim highlighted that in his two years serving as Hyrax Technical Lead, "Daniel has been an essential force for maintaining Hyrax and pushing it into the future. Over the last year he has made tremendous strides towards new initiatives, such as moving towards compatibility with Fedora 6. He’s also been very invested in improving the core code itself. I have seen him responding very quickly to various problems in the code base, and he has worked closely with many folks in the community to resolve bugs and issues. Daniel also is a good-natured and positive person. He has respect for others in the community, and he is quite liked in the community for his friendly spirit and willingness to work with everyone."
