Applications are now open and will close on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST.
Thank you to last year’s award officers: Giorgi Keratishvili and Kris Stern. If you message them on the CDF Slack, they’d be happy to tell you about their experience.
How are you and your peers working to raise awareness about the role and importance of open source in creating sustainable software ecosystems?
Maintainers and the community projects they lead are struggling without support from those that use their software. The OpenSSF recently signed a joint statement for sustainable stewardship for open source software, along with Alpha-Omega, Continuous Delivery Foundation, Eclipse Foundation (Open VSX), OpenJS Foundation, Packagist (Composer), Perl and Raku Foundation, Python Software Foundation (PyPI), Ruby Central, Rust Foundation (crates.io), and Sonatype (Maven Central).
