Coding flor a new project? Fixing > bugs on existing projects? Or just using some free software at all? It's a contest for rwarding individual efforts in free software. Here's a site in French describing the competition: http://www.toolinux.com/news/communaute/trophees_du_libre_2e_edition_ar5784.html The website is in French, but the contest is intended to be international - so far, confirmed jurors include one of the main PHP and one of the main MySQL programmers. This page: http://www.sil-cetril.org/trophees/ has a description of the contest: "Two types of projects can be presented: Emerging projects which need a maturing phase, but also more established projects." The goal is simply to encourage free software development, as far as I can tell. Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France E-Mail: bolsh@xxxxxxxx CV: http://dneary.free.fr/CV/
