[UbuntuWomen] Sharing some exciting news: Open Source Award!

[Elizabeth Krumbach]

Hi everyone,

Since I always encourage others to share their success stories on
list, I would be remiss if I didn't do the same :)

Yesterday I accepted an O'Reilly Open Source Award at OSCON for my
work in Ubuntu!

Details and other winners here:

It was quite an honor, and Ubuntu Women held a special place for me
when I accepted it. I had been using Ubuntu on my laptop for about a
year before getting involved with Ubuntu Women in 2006, which was my
first real exposure to the Ubuntu community. Over the years I've
benefited from encouragement of my peers within this project at pretty
much every step of the way, from becoming an Ubuntu Member to being
nominated for a spot on the Ubuntu Community Council.

So thanks to everyone here for helping foster an encouraging and
supportive environment that has been so essential to my success, you
all rock.
