[OSM-talk] OSM scores at Linux New Media Awards

[Blumpsy]

Dear all,

I was just flicking through the latest Linux Magazine (issue 102) and 
noticed on page 18 this year's winners of the Linux New Media Awards.

Just to fill you in: This award is presented annually by Linux New Media 
AG, the German mother-company of Linux Magazine, for outstanding 
contributions to Linux and Open Source.

OSM won in two out of six categories:
- Outstanding contribution to Open Source / Linux / Free Software, and
- Most innovative Open Source Project.

Congratulations to us all!!!

The other winners are Intel, Google Android, Python, and OpenSSH.

You may access a PDF of the article under this URL:

 From this article:
"Michel Buege and Dirk-Lüder Kreie accepted the prize on behalf of the 
project and praised the commitment of the 100,000 or so people who 
contribute to the free GIS."

Quite why OSM receives a software award escapes me, but I don't want to 
spoil your excitement.

Cheers

Blumpsy
