PROVIDENCE – Ten local information technology practitioners and entrepreneurs were named the 2012 Tech10 award winners by industry association Tech Collective.

The awards – announced Wednesday – recognize the 10 “most accomplished IT practitioners, digital media professionals and entrepreneurs” in Rhode Island

“These are the do-ers, the go-to guys and gals. They are the geeks, the brainiacs, the ones who make the rest of us look like dolts and superstars all at the same time,” said a release.

The award winners were nominated by members of the local technology community.
