Nominations for the FSF 2005 Free Software Award

Posted by timothy on from the shuttleworth dept.

The Free Software Foundation has posted a call for nominations for their 2005 Award for the Advancement of Free Software. Last year's winner was Theo de Raadt. Previous winners are ineligible, so who's left who hasn't already won?

    The LinuxBIOS dude! What better nominee than someone who has helped so much in bringing free software to a traditionally proprietary area of the computer?

    "Who's left"?

    Was the array of free software developers and projects statically allocated at the beginning of time? Could there ever possibly be, just maybe, someone new?
