Allison Fine, Joseph Mouzon, and Katrin Verclas, the three original prize judges, all have long and broad experience in public interest computing. As of 2010, Allison and Katrin are no longer serving on the Advisory Panel and we thank them for their invaluable contributions as founding judges.
Joseph was joined this year by Erika Bjune. Nick Pizzigati sits on the panel as an ex officio member, representing the Florence and Frances Family Fund of Tides Foundation. In 2008, George Hotelling, the inaugural winner of the Pizzigati Prize, joined the judging panel. Barry Warsaw followed, joining in 2009 as that year’s winner. The current winner, Yaw Anokwa, will serve on the panel for the first time in 2011.
