My name is Flora Kang, who is in charge of collecting participants of
an open source software competition.
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) of the Korean government hosts
Open Source Software World Challenge 2011
: USD $25,000 in total will be awarded to winners in the international division.
We do hope there will be many participants around the globe.
Though I know it's very rude of me to bother you, we would feel highly
honored to have your students as our participants.
International participants are exclusively allowed to submit any open
source software developed within one year, even if they got a prize
from another competition with it.
In addition, even more than one year old project can be accepted by
our judging panel as well, if it has been improved enough lately.
Please visit our website www.ossaward.org.
Our registration deadline is August 15th.
And final submission deadline is September 18th.
We hope that you will recommend your students.
I’m quite sure that this will be a great opportunity for them.
I’ve attached an overview of Open Source Software World Challenge and
a plain text message for forwarding to your students.
If you need more information, please contact me at ossawards [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com .
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
