| And the best news for the open source community? The rules stipulate that
| applications must:
|
| 1. Use or create digital, open-source technology as the code base.
| 2. Serve the public interest.
| 3. Benefit one or more specific geographic communities.
|
| Past winners I have had the pleasure of meeting include Sir Tim Berners-Lee
| and Martin Moore ($350,000), Chris Csikszentmihályi, Mitchel Resnick, and
| Henry Jenkins ($5,000,000), and Adrian Holovaty ($1,100,000). Bravo, all! As
| for future winners, they could include you, if you have a great idea about
| how open source can be applied to improving the quality and impact of civic
| discourse.
