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!

Subject: [Nosi-discussion] Apply NOW: Antonio Pizzigati Prize for
Software in the Public InterestSoftware Prize Deadline Coming Up!
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. In fact, you can be anywhere
in the
world to apply and win the prize.“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.”Disclosure: I am on the selection committee, so have a decided
self-interest in getting interesting submissions to review! Please
forward this far and wide, blog, twitter, and wall-write about it!
AND, of
course, SUBMIT!Thanks,
Katrin
