The JCP program started the year with the announcement of seven new Star
Spec Leads for 2006: Danny Coward, Pierre Gauthier, Jaana Majakangas,
Antti Rantalahti, Bill Shannon, Jon Courtney and Mark Reinhold.
Exceptional JSR spec lead performance is recognized by the community as
a key ingredient for an effective and smooth development process. These
individuals have set the bar yet higher with timely and quality
leadership of their JSRs. Read more about some of these Star Spec Leads
in the Community Focus Series.

down from a field of 195) as part of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge at the California Speedway in
Fontana, California in 2005. PBS has produced a special on the DARPA
Grand Challenge--view videos and slide shows at pbs.org.
