The Nordic Free Software Award<\/a> 2010 was given the Icelandic hacker Bjarni R\u00fanar Einarsson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The formal handing over of the prize was done during the social event at FSCONS 2010, with hundreds of free software hackers attending and a lot joy.

I’m happy to say that I served in the jury for the award this year. We were a bunch of Nordic free software enthusiasts in there, involving several previous winners.

The social event then went on with lots of free software talks with cool people from the entire Nordic region, and I certainly met a whole bunch of friendly hackers I didn’t know before. It was also great fun to run into Giuseppe<\/a>, the current wget<\/a> maintainer.<\/p>\n
