Hi everyone,
I'm happy to report that Magnus Hagander has received the 2018 Nordic Free
Software Award, presented to him by Joonas Kylmälä at the FOSS North
conference earlier today. The Jury's motivation:
Magnus is a core PostgreSQL developer, member of the first
Executive Committee of PostgreSQL Europe, co-organizer of
Stockholm PostgreSQL Meetup and a frequent speaker and
organiser at various events all around the world.
In addition to critical and foundational technical work on
PostgreSQL, Magnus has provided the practical and administrative
implementation of the objectives of PostgreSQL Europe for ten years.
The Nordic Free Software Award is given to people, projects or
organisations in the nordic countries who have made a prominent
contribution to the advancement of Free Software.
Magnus receives the award as an individual, but in all three
categories, as he has contributed to the successful
institutionalisation of the prerequisites for Free Software in
the field of relational databases.
Huge thanks to Joonas for stepping in to handle this in Gothenburg during
FOSS North, thanks to Johan Thelin for hosting us this morning, the jury
who did most of the hard thinking, and everyone else who contributed in the
process, on and off line!
