2006 MELLON AWARDS FOR TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATION

The Program in Research in Information Technology of the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation invites nominations for the 2006 Mellon Awards for Technology
Collaboration (MATC). In support of the Program’s mission to encourage
collaborative, open source software development within traditional Mellon
constituencies, these awards—to be given for the first time in 2006—will
recognize not-for-profit organizations that are making substantial
contributions of their own resources toward the development of open source
software and the fostering of collaborative communities to sustain open
source development.

The awards will provide the recipients with opportunities to strengthen
their commitment to inter-organizational collaboration and open source
software development. Awards will be given at two levels: $25,000 awards to
recognize important organizational contributions to open source projects
which currently or potentially provide significant benefits to at least one
traditional Mellon constituency; and $100,000 awards to recognize highly
significant contributions to open source projects offering larger benefits
to more or larger constituencies. Multiple awards will be bestowed at each
level, at the discretion of the Award Committee and the Trustees.
