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.
