<br>
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open
nominations
<br>
for the 2016 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source
<br>
Software.
<br>
<br>
The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software
<br>
(GFOSS) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated
leadership
<br>
in the GFOSS community. Recipients of the award will have
contributed
<br>
significantly through their activities to advance open source
ideals
<br>
in the geospatial realm.
<br>
<br>
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large
body of
<br>
work in the form of applications, format specifications, and
utilities
<br>
while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early GFOSS
archive
<br>
provided both source code and applications freely available to
the
<br>
community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many
geospatial list
<br>
servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at
large.
<br>
<br>
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's
Lymphoma, but
<br>
his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested
in
<br>
making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's
<br>
family's request, can do so at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://donate.cancer.org/index">https://donate.cancer.org/index</a>.
<br>
<br>
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SolKatzAward@osgeo.org">SolKatzAward@osgeo.org</a> with a description of the reasons for
this
<br>
nomination. Nominations will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on
August
<br>
4th
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=8&day=4&year=2016&hour=23&min=59&sec=59">http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=8&day=4&year=2016&hour=23&min=59&sec=59</a>.<br>
<br>
A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the
OSGeo
<br>
selection committee.
<br>
<br>
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open
Source
<br>
Software will be announced at the FOSS4G-Bonn event in August.
The
<br>
hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of
community
<br>
members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to
come.
<br>
<br>
It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee
members
<br>
are not eligible.
