Per chi già non è iscritto alla lista OSGeo - vedere messaggio sotto. La scadenza è il 31 agosto. Non mi è evidente capire se possono concorrere cittadini non-USA, ma ho mandato un e-mail per verificare. A prescindere da questo particolare, penso sia interessante valutare questo tipo di iniziative.
Rimanendo in tema ricordo che - sempre il 31-8 è la scadenza del concorso "Programmi in libertà" della Provincia di Cagliari, http://www.provincia.cagliari.it/contenuti/html/newsgnu.html - a maggio un ominoverde aveva lanciato il sassolino di istituire un premio per la geomatica libera in Italia ...;) a dopo! andrea, noto pibinko http://pibinko.altervista.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tyler Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2-ago-2007 22.30 Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest To: OSGeo Discussions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FYI - in case you want to submit an nomination for someone in your community...

Katrin
and folks, here's some prize blurb copy that might be helpful for blog outreach. Sam Software
Prize Deadline Now a Month Away Good
deeds do get rewarded! If you know someone who’s been toiling in the open
source vineyards, developing software that’s really helping a nonprofit
succeed, check out the Tides Foundation Pizzigati Prize, a $10,000 annual award
for outstanding contributions to software in the public interest. The
application deadline for this year’s prize: August 31. Find out more
— and apply online — at www.pizzigatiprize.org. One
special note: Last year’s inaugural Pizzigati Prize competition drew
nominations from a variety of nationally recognizable open source talents. But
you don’t have to have done work for a top-tier national nonprofit to be
considered for Pizzigati Prize honors. “We’re
looking for people whose software is making a difference,” says Jason
Sanders, the Tides Foundation philanthropic advisor who coordinates the
Pizzigati Prize, “and that difference can be in any sized
community.” -----Original
