Open Source Awards nominations - final call
Posted by
Zaheda Bhorat, Open Source TeamIn the past two years, the
Google-O'Reilly Open Source Awards have been presented to some
very
worthy
candidates. The selection process for 2007 started this year when we opened up the
the awards nominations to anyone in the open source community.
You may
have seen the announcement a few weeks back via
Nat's blog
post on O'Reilly Radar, and thought you still had plenty of time. If you haven't
already sent in your submission, we'd like to remind you that all entries must be received by
end of day PST, April 30th 2007.
Your nominee can be an individual you
work with closely or one you have observed who stands out as a leader in open source. This may
be someone who has contributed significantly to the code, the health and well-being of the
community or made a difference in a way that should be recognized by the open source community
at large.
Please be sure to include the person's name, email address,
the project(s) impacted and more importantly the reason why you are selecting the individual
to receive the coveted Google-O'Reilly Open Source Award for 2007. Nominations are to be sent
to osawards at oreilly dot com. Google and O'Reilly employee are not eligible for
nomination.
The five winners will be announced at
OSCON 2007, Portland, Oregon,
July 24, 2007.
And finally, we'd like to thank everyone who has already
participated by sending in nominations; the members of the award committee have their work cut
out for them this year!
Any feedback on the
Hall of Fame page is
also welcome!
