The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2024 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Evert-Jan Boer.

Evert-Jan says about himself:
"I still remember receiving the classic yellow castle on one of my birthdays, and I rather would like to build it right away instead of spending my birthday with friends and family. Toys came and went, but everything LEGO stayed with me.

It was around the year 2000 that I stumbled across Bricklink which gave me the opportunity to replace lost and broken parts, and also the possibility to build digitally with LDraw, MLCad and LDView. Around that time I also started working on saving my collection in a database with a web front end (thanks to my previous experience as programmer), and quickly noticed not everything was available as a LDraw part, which pushed me to finding out how to create these myselves. I mostly create patterns and stickers for sets I own, and now and then conversions of parts from other sources."

More information on the JJMA can be found at: https://www.ldraw.org/article/222.html

On behalf of the LDraw Steering Committee, we thank Evert-Jan for his contributions and look forward to working with him in the future. He has currently a whooping 1443 parts in the library/parts tracker.
