Hi,

Slashdot News for those who might have missed it.

Theo de Raadt, creator of OpenBSD and ex-NetBSD hacker has been bestowed the 2004 FSF Award.I know very less of Theo but his work towards OpenSSH and the fight against Wi-Fi Hardware Chipset Manufactures is well known in the FLOSS world.

Congratulations to Theo.

He joins the ranks of Alan Cox, Larry Wall and Guido van Rossum in the FSF Hall of Fame.

This years award commitee has two well known faces ( e-mail handles actually :) from our very own ILUGC mailing list.

Good Choice Guys.Keep up the good work. :)

Cheers, Toufeeq Hussain
