It can be difficult for free software projects to get the word out, especially without any corporate backing. My colleague Matt Raible has some interesting points to make about this issue, along with advice on how to market your free software project (it generally comes down to reaching out to your community of users and contributors). And I would add one more point: assign a press contact who will be friendly and prompt with inquiries. I don’t know how many times I’ve contacted a project and received a late or half-hearted response.

First, I have to say that we were absolutely swamped with entries for this prize. And, I thank you all for entering, but there can only be one winner:

And the winner is...

Nelson Mambre of Venezuela!
