The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the
2009 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software.

The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) will
be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS
community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly
through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial
realm.

Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to
SolKatzAward at osgeo.orgwith a description of the reasons for this
nomination. Nominations will be
accepted until midnight UTC on October 9th. A recipient will be decided from
the nomination list by an OSGeo designated selection committee.

The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source
Software will be announced on October 23rd at the FOSS4G 2009 conference
closing plenary in Sydney, Australia. The hope is that the award will both
acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its
founders, for years to come.

It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are
not eligible.
