Generous!
Today I got the official award notification mail from Albert Astals Cid. Seems like it's not just honor I'm getting -- very generously Staikos Computing Services has sponsored two high-end Linux mobile telephones, one of which I'm getting.
The incredible Laurent Montel, who did the lion's share of porting KDE to Qt4, also gets one of these phones. Tink tells me it's a Motorola Rokr E2. Very cool! Apparently it doubles as an mp3-player. You should have heard the agonized squeals from my three very jealous teenage daughters!
Alexander Neundorf, who contributed so much to the success of replacing autotools with cmake has gotten a video iPod sponsored by Ricoh. I'm not sure what would have made my kids more jealous...
Linux New Media -- publishers of Linux Magazine, which is miles better than Linux Format (not a difficult feat) and which I read with more pleasure than Linux Journal nowadays, is giving all award winners a yearly subscription to one of their magazines. Yay for Linux New Media!
