The Collaborative Software Community Awarded

Andy Tai writes "InfoWorld awards the "Collaborative Software Community" (including the Free Software/Open Source community) the Industry Achievement award for 1998. O'Reilly accepts the award on the behalf of the community. Nick Petreley names many important people of Free Software in his award story, including RMS, Linus, ESR, Larry Wall, John Ousterhout, Alan Cox, Jon (maddog) Hall, Robert Young, Jeremy Allison, etc." Suppose this should be in the same article as the next one, but hey, they're both important. They can each have their own story today.
