Let me quote this in full from O'Reilly's Allison Randal's blog[1]: ``For 
the 4th year running, Google and O'Reilly will present a set of Open 
Source Awards at OSCON 2008. The awards recognize individual contributors 
who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, creativity, and 
collaboration in the development of Open Source Software. Past recipients 
for 2005-2007 include Doc Searls, Jeff Waugh, Gerv Markham, Julian Seward, 
David Heinemeier Hansson, Karl Fogel, David Recordon, and Paul Vixie.

The nomination process is open to the entire open source community, 
closing May 15th, 2008. Send your nominations to osawards AT oreilly DOT 
com. Nominations should include the name of the recipient, any associated 
project/org, suggested title for the award ("Best Hacker", "Best Community 
Builder", etc.), and a description of why you are nominating the 
individual. Google and O'Reilly employees cannot be nominated.''
