 Hi all,

 I was contacted over the weekend by the organiser of a Paris
 based free software contest, who wanted to know whether I knew
 anyone in the GIMP project who was prepared to be a jury member
 for the competition. 

What exactly is the contest about? Coding flor a new project? Fixing 
bugs on existing projects? Or just using some free software at all?

Regards,
JS

It's a contest for rwarding individual efforts in free software.

Here's a site in French describing the competition:
http://www.toolinux.com/news/communaute/trophees_du_libre_2e_edition_ar5784.html

The website is in French, but the contest is intended to be
international - so far, confirmed jurors include one of the main
PHP and one of the main MySQL programmers.

This page: http://www.sil-cetril.org/trophees/ 
has a description of the contest: Two types of projects can be
presented: Emerging projects which need a maturing phase, but
also more established projects.

The goal is simply to encourage free software development, as far
as I can tell.

Cheers,
Dave.
