FOSS Awards
India's FOSS and digital commons infrastructure rests on the shoulders of few. FOSS Awards is our way of celebrating them.
Voting is invite-only and is restricted to the following people:
- The FOSS United Maintainer Community (see forklore.in). If you're a maintainer of an open-commons project, please join the Maintainers Community to be a part of the process.
- Leads of active city communities and student clubs (at least 1 year old, and at least one event in the last 3 months).
- Active FOSS United volunteers (1+ year of active volunteering with any FOSS United program).
- Current and former sponsors/funders/donors — one vote per organisation. Individual donors (e.g. diversity sponsors) are included.
- FOSS United Foundation staff, Governing Board, and IndiaFOSS co-chairs.
Please keep an eye out for an email from us. If you think you fit in the above categories (except Maintainers who can join directly) but did not get an invite, you can submit a request to FOSS Awards — FOSS United.
The voting happens on the FOSS United forum. The threads will be visible to everyone, but only the people mentioned above will be able to vote on the polls. Existing members of the maintainer group already have the necessary access. For others, the process will be highlighted in the invitation email.
That's it! There will be a separate thread for each category, and you can vote there. We'll add them to this thread and to the webpage once voting is live.
Categories and Nominees
The award ceremony will happen at the IndiaFOSS festival at NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru.
May the FOSS (United Community), be with you!
