Subject: [HLUG] herefordshire open source awards

> It has been suggested that to help promote the Open Source Day we
> initiate a county wide award for the
> organisation/individuals who have done the most to promote/introduce/use
> open source software in the county.
> 
> We could call it HOSS - Herefordshire Open Source Stars (julians
> influence on the acronym front!) unless anyone has a better idea!
> 
> We can ask for nominations before the event - a good excuse to get
> something in the Hereford Times and other media early on with hopefully
> a clear explanation of what
> FOSS is - put something on the website with a nominations form and the
> award can be a certificate - so no expense involved! - awarded on March
> 26 - also another excuse for pic and coverage in the HT and elsewhere.
> Also if we can't award the local govt one -  this will highlight the
> lack of FOSS in that area
> 
> The suggestion is that to avoid conflicts of interest the individuals on
> the awarding panel - would be excluded form the awards
> 
> To get this underway we will need to act quickly - please let us know
> what you think - the idea has been added to PP (section 5)
