    The Software Freedom
    Conservancy has announced
    that Mark J. Wielaard has been honored with the second annual
    Distinguished Service Award in Software Freedom for his many years of
    service to software freedom.

    Mark is one of many key FOSS developers who has designed his career so
    that his employers have funded much of his FOSS work. Nevertheless,
    Mark continues his volunteer work after hours as a key contributor who maintains Sourceware - the
    oldest FOSS collaboration and developer infrastructure hosting site in
    history.

    In addition to his work on Sourceware, Wielaard is a member of the DWARF Debugging Standard Committee,
    the maintainer for Valgrind and elfutils, as well as a contributor to
    various other GNU projects.
