The competition, judged by a panel of national leaders in public interest computing, is now entering its third year. The application deadline for this year’s prize: September 1, 2008. Last year’s winner was Barry Warsaw, lead developer of the awesome Mailman mailing list manager.
  • Ruby Sinreich is a new phenomenon! You go girl!
