Linux Australia has announced Pascal Klein as the inaugural winner of the organisation's People's Choice Community Member of the Year award.
Klein, a sixteen year old student from Canberra, was selected from a field of over fifteen candidates nominated by the Linux Australia community. His prize consists of a complimentary ticket to the world's premier technical open source software (OSS) conference, linux.conf.au (LCA), and money to help cover travel and accommodation expenses. This year's linux.conf.au is being held at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
I actually know Pascal Klein as I host his blog and have worked with him on quite a few things since more than one year already and I can testify that he is really enthusiastic about Free Software and contributing to it, especially the art team of ubuntu where he pushes for better organization and other such positive changes.
Considering that he is only sixteen years old I actually find myself admiring his dedication.
There should definitely be more people like him as such people are precious for the FOSS community.
