deeds do get rewarded! If you know someone who’s been toiling in the open
source vineyards, developing software that’s really helping a nonprofit
succeed, check out the Tides Foundation Pizzigati Prize, a $10,000 annual award
for outstanding contributions to software in the public interest. The
application deadline for this year’s prize: August 31. Find out more
— and apply online — at <a href="http://www.pizzigatiprize.org">www.pizzigatiprize.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

special note: Last year’s inaugural Pizzigati Prize competition drew
