Nominations for Apereo Awards Now Open.

[patrick...@apereo.org]

Hello Apereo Community,

(Apologies for cross-posting)

Each year, the Apereo Foundation celebrates the many volunteer efforts, innovations, and success stories of our open source community. Starting in 2022, we will be building upon this foundation. We will continue our support for Apereo Fellows and Teaching and Learning Innovation, as well as adding two new categories for recognition. The four categories for the 2022 Apereo Awards are the following:

• Apereo Fellows: These awards recognize exceptional service and contributions by individuals to the Apereo open source community. From development to project management to other acts of service and support, Apereo Fellows make important contributions to the projects within the foundation.
• Teaching and Learning: These awards recognize innovation in teaching and learning using open source software, promoting excellent pedagogy, sharing new practices in teaching, and encouraging more faculty involvement in software evolution.
• Enterprise Solutions: This is a new award that seeks to recognize academic institutions, project teams, or others in the development, deployment, and/or implementation of open source software that supports the operation of higher education.
• Leadership, Innovation, and Networking: This is a new, special honor to recognize an individual champion or leader, although this award can go to an organization as well. The recipient of this award promotes, propels, and transforms open source initiatives to meet the diverse and evolving needs of higher education.

Deadline: 

The deadline to submit nominations for the 2022 Apereo Awards is Wednesday, June 1, 2022.

Eligibility:

Anyone may nominate candidates for an Apereo Award. Nominees for Apereo Fellows, Teaching & Learning, and Enterprise Solutions must incorporate at least one Apereo project or community in the innovation or contribution. While Apereo affiliation for the Leadership, Innovation, and Networking award is preferred, anyone that has made outstanding strides for open source in higher education is eligible. All nominees must not have previously won a past Apereo Award in the last three years.
