What are the New Zealand Open Source Awards?

For New Zealand, free and open source technology not only represents an opportunity to contribute and be recognised on the world stage, but also to deliver real competitive advantage to our business sector, show leadership in government and the public sector, and provide more effective tools for community-based organisations as they meet the challenges of the 21st century.  

The New Zealand Open Source Awards recognise and promote:

• the contributions of New Zealanders directly to free and open source projects or the promotion of free and open source philosophy.
• exemplary use of free and open source by New Zealand organisations.

This year's Awards will bring to the fore some of the outstanding work done with free and open source by New Zealanders and for New Zealanders, focusing on achievements over the last two years.
