Thanks for singling it out.

Hi,
As per the previous message regarding the template competition I am
seeking sponsors for prizes that can be given to the winners of the
design competition.
However I am also seeking sponsors for a higher level of award that
is now well overdue.

All of us have used Linux Audio tools for our businesses and have a
debt of gratitude to the Linux Audio Developers community. There are
some very specific names that deserve official recognition for their
motivation, dedication and all round superstar qualities.
I would like to see the next Linux Audio Conference as the inaugural
awards ceremony for Linux Audio Developers, Musicians, and Supporters.
I am proposing a series of awards that will be sponsored by members
of the Consortium.
Obviously there will be a lifetime achievement award but we also need
a couple of other categories. Some suggestions are:
Developers:
Best Audio recording software
Best Midi software
Best DJ software
Best Sequencing software
Best Plugin
Most Active contributor
Most Active evangalist
Best Blog
Best Forum
Considering my own stuff:
"Infrastructure Achievement Award" for projects like: jack1/jack2,
lash, qjackctl, patchage, alsa, freebob/ffado, ladi, ...
The base level is far less sexy to work on, but is IMHO very important
since it's the enabling technology for all these other sexy apps.
