Dear ,

The deadline to submit nominations for the Free Software Awards is this 
Wednesday, November 6, 2013. If you have a free software hero or know of 
an organization doing amazing work with free software, show your 
appreciation by nominating them. But hurry! Email 
award-nominations at gnu.org <mailto:award-nominations at gnu.org> to submit 
your nomination today!

Sincerely,

Libby Reinish
Campaigns Manager

Is there someone who you think has advanced the progress of free 
software, someone you think of as a free software hero? How about a 
great project that uses free software principles, like copyleft or free 
culture, to benefit society? Now is your chance to nominate them for a 
Free Software Award.

Don't delay, nominations are due on November 6. To nominate an 
individual for the Award for the Advancement of Free Software or a 
project for the Award for Projects of Social Benefit, send your 
nomination along with a description of the project or individual to 
award-nominations at gnu.org <mailto:award-nominations at gnu.org>.

The free software movement is powered by dedicated individuals and has 
fostered many incredible projects that are making a difference in the 
world with the help of free software tools and principles. You can read 
more about the awards and past winners in our official announcement 
<https://www.fsf.org/news/free-software-foundation-opens-nominations-for-the-16th-annual-free-software-awards>.

What are you waiting for? Take a few minutes to give props to people and 
projects that have changed the world. Your nominations will be reviewed 
by our awards committee and the winners will be announced at LibrePlanet 
2014 <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2014>.

    Award for the Advancement of Free Software

The Free Software Foundation Award for the Advancement of Free Software 
is presented annually by FSF president Richard Stallman to an individual 
who has made a great contribution to the progress and development of 
free software, through activities that accord with the spirit of free 
software.

    Award for Projects of Social Benefit

Nominations are also open for the 2013 Award for Projects of Social Benefit.

This award is presented to the project or team responsible for applying 
free software, or the ideas of the free software movement, to a project 
that intentionally and significantly benefits society in other aspects 
of life.

We look to recognize projects or teams that encourage collaboration to 
accomplish social tasks. A long-term commitment to one's project (or the 
potential for a long-term commitment) is crucial to this end.

This award stresses the use of free software in the service of humanity. 
We have deliberately chosen this broad criterion so that many different 
areas of activity can be considered. However, one area that is not 
included is that of free software itself. Projects with a primary goal 
of promoting or advancing free software are not eligible for this award, 
though we honor those projects with our annual Award for the Advancement 
of Free Software.

We will consider any project or team that uses free software or the 
philosophy of software freedom to address a goal important to society. 
To qualify, a project must use free software, produce free 
documentation, or use the idea of free software as defined in the Free 
Software Definition. Work done commercially is eligible, but we will 
give this award to the project or team that best utilizes resources for 
society's greater benefit.

      Nomination Requirements

In the case of both awards, previous winners are not eligible for 
nomination, but renomination of other previous nominees is encouraged. 
Only individuals are eligible for nomination for the Advancement of Free 
Software Award, and only projects can be nominated for the Social 
Benefit Award.

Award recipients will be chosen by a committee of previous winners and 
FSF president Richard Stallman.

Please send your nominations to award-nominations at gnu.org 
<mailto:award-nominations at gnu.org>, no later than Wednesday, November 6, 
2013. Please submit nominations in the following format:

  *

    In the email message subject line, either put the name of the person
    you are nominating for the Award for Advancement of Free Software,
    or put the name of the project for the Award for Projects of Social
    Benefit.

  *

    Please include, in the body of your message, an explanation (forty
    lines or less) of the work done and why you think it is especially
    important to the advancement of free software or how it benefits
    society, respectively.

  *

    Please state, in the body of your message, where to find the
    materials (e.g., software, manuals, or writing) which your
    nomination is based on.

Information about the previous awards can be found at 
https://www.fsf.org/awards. Winners will be announced at an awards 
ceremony at the LibrePlanet conference 
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2014>, tentatively 
scheduled for March 2014, in Boston, Massachusetts.
