As an associate member, we'd love to hear your ideas for nominations. We have two annual awards.
Award for the Advancement of Free Software ------------------------------------------ The Free Software Foundation Award for the Advancement of Free Software is presented annually by Richard Stallman to a person who has made a great contribution to the progress and development of free software, through activities that accord with the spirit of free software. Last year, Harald Welte was awarded the Award for the Advancement of Free Software in recognition for his contributions to the Linux kernel and the OpenMoko mobile platform project, and his community leadership in safeguarding the freedom of free software users by successfully enforcing the GNU General Public License through the gpl-violations.org project. Welte joined a prestigious list of previous winners including Ted Ts'o, Andrew Tridgell, Theo de Raadt, Alan Cox, Lawrence Lessig, Guido van Rossum, Brian Paul, Miguel de Icaza and Larry Wall. Award for Projects of Social Benefit ------------------------------------ Nominations are also open for the 2008 Award for Projects of Social Benefit. The Social Benefit award recognizes a project that intentionally and significantly benefits society through collaboration to accomplish an important social task. The previous winners of the Award for Projects of Social Benefit were Groklaw, in 2007, Sahana project in 2006, and Wikipedia, in 2005.
