UKUUG Award 2005

The UKUUG Award is given annually for a significant contribution to free and open source software, in the form of an article or paper, software product, or other contribution.

The purpose of the Award is to encourage and foster developers and other contributors in, or connected with, the British Isles. UKUUG is looking for a work or project that is, or might become, significant in the world of free and open source software. Special encouragement is given to entries from UK students and the best of those entries will be recognised. The judging panel includes representatives from UKUUG, UK computer science departments, and the wider community.

A one-page summary of the work, accompanied by an abstract and a short biography, should be submitted via www.ukuug.org/award/submit. The closing date for submissions is Saturday 2 April 2005.

UKUUG are giving a prize of 500, to which O'Reilly UK Ltd are generously adding both a pass to the Open Source Convention and monies towards travel and accommodation.
