> BOSTON, October 4, 2011 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the
> GNU Project today announced the opening of nominations for the 14th

> ### 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.
> 
> Last year, Rob Savoye was recognized with the Award for the
> Advancement of Free Software for his contributions to compiler and
> testing tools, and his leadership of the GNU Gnash project, a
> fully-free replacement for Adobe Flash. Savoye joined a prestigious
> list of previous winners including John Gilmore, Wietse Venema, Harald
> Welte, Ted Ts'o, Andrew Tridgell, Theo de Raadt, Alan Cox, Larry
> Lessig, Guido van Rossum, Brian Paul, Miguel de Icaza and Larry Wall.

> work to fight against surveillance inflicted by increasingly
> restrictive governments and to improve the safety and wellbeing of all
> Internet citizens.

> Groklaw, the Sahana project, and Wikipedia.
