<DIV>Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest 2009
competition<BR>The Tides Foundation is accepting nominations for the $10,000
Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest. The annual prize,
now in its third year, honors a software developer whose work has made an
outstanding contribution to the nonprofit sector and to ongoing efforts for
positive social change.<BR>Tides welcome applications from — and nominations of
— individuals who have developed a software product that is open source (as
defined by the Open Source Initiative) and easily and widely available. The
software must have already demonstrated its value to at least one nonprofit
organization and be of potential value to multiple nonprofit
organizations.<BR>Deadline: March 2, 2009.</DIV>
