Anyone know of an informal hacker award? I think this would
be a real cool thing to do, ack the hard work of hackers
everywhere. Hell, we could have awards in diffrent categories
like:
* best new use of the net
* best new utility
* best post to alt.hackers
* best obhack
And of course the ubiquitous "Lifetime achivement award"
about two weeks a formal vote will take place.
We could call the award the "Woz" and the show "The
Wozzies"
and have it broadcast live over IRC.
