Registering for the contest
As stated on IRC and mailing-lists, I registered VideoLAN to take part in the Lutece d'Or contest, that rewards Open Source developments. This contest is part of the Paris, Capitale du Libre event.
I registered VLC media player
as the project to compete.
Nomination and award
After our registration, we were nominated for Meilleur projet de développement Libre
or The best Free Software development
, with two other contestants.
And we won!
Last year's winner was Mozilla Europe for Mozilla Firefox. We are proud to follow them.
Thanks to everyone.
