Dear Free Software Supporter,
The nomination period for the Free Software Foundation (FSF)'s annual
Free Software Awards is drawing to a close on November 6th. If you
haven't done so already, now's your last chance to honor the
outstanding individuals and projects that have either furthered or
made significant use of free software in their work toward a free
society. This year, we're also recognizing newcomers in a special
award category called the Award for Outstanding New Free Software
Contributor. We look forward to the award ceremony at this year's
LibrePlanet conference in March in the Boston area.
We value the community's input to identify the movement's most
significant new contributors and projects. We rely on award
nominations from free software users and activists around the world to
help bring those deserving activists to the spotlight. It's been a joy
for us to see the nominations that have already come in, and to learn
about so many different people and projects in the free software
movement. As with the movement itself, every voice matters, and our
committee judges every submission we receive very carefully.
Besides the Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor, we're
also encouraging the community to nominate the individuals that
inspire them for the Award for the Advancement of Free Software. If
you know a group that makes special use of free software in their
campaigning for the good of society, please consider nominating them
for the Award for Projects of Social Benefit.
The deadline to submit your nominations is Wednesday, November 6th,
2019, at 14:59 UTC.
We hold the Free Software Awards as a way to invigorate all those in
the free software movement. As free software users, developers,
authors of documentation, and community organizers, we all depend on
each other to achieve our vision of a world in which all computer
users can do all of their work in complete freedom. Let's take a
moment to show the people in our community who inspire us that we
care, and nominate them today.
Yours in freedom,
Greg Farough
Campaigns Manager
