It's great when organizations which use open source software give back by contributing time to an existing project. The Mellon Foundation has awards for organizations which do this. I'm on the committee at the moment. Can you think of or do you work for maybe a non-profit organization, including school or university, which has contributed back to an open source project? If so, please nominate them -- could be your own university -- at http://matc.mellon.org/nominate Deadline: April 14 Thanks in advance Tim The deadline for nominations for the 2008 Mellon Awards for Technology Collaboration (MATC Awards) is April 14, 2008. The MATC Awards consist of up to ten $50,000 or $100,000 prizes, which a receiving institution can use in a variety of ways to continue its technology leadership. The awards honor not-for-profit institutions that have demonstrated exemplary leadership in the development of open source software for one or more of the constituencies served by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation: the arts and humanities in higher education; research libraries, museums; performing arts organizations; and conservation biology.
