Feels like the Bazaar won
- Cathedral always was the losing team.
Well-deserved, I’m sure.
Awarded to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both.
A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.
We need more diversity
- Which does not mean that people like A.S. Tanenbaum should not be deserving recognition. With other words, your comment does not contribute to this thread.
- I’m pretty sure AST would agree with you.
  Still, the award is richly deserved.
- Agreed. It doesn't make Tannenbaum's achievements any less significant, however.
