FSF: Free Software Award nominations sought

([Briefs] Sep 4, 2020 21:23 UTC (Fri) (ris))


The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has [1]announced that nominations are open, until October 28, for the [2]Free Software Awards . Winners will be announced at the annual [3]LibrePlanet conference. " You might know of a contributor or organization who has done significant and user-empowering work on free software. We invite you to take a moment to show them (and tell us) that you care, by nominating them for an award in one of three categories: the [4]Award for the Advancement of Free Software , the [5]Award for Projects of Social Benefit , or the [6]Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor . Don't assume that someone else will nominate them -- too often, everyone assuming someone else will express the appreciation means that it never happens. As taking initiative and speaking up for the community are important parts of free software, why not take the time yourself to make sure your voice is heard? "
