Mambo Foundation President finalist in NZ Open Source AwardsMambo Foundation, Inc President, Lynne Pope, is a finalist in the inaugural New Zealand Open Source Awards. Selected as one of three finalists for the title of New Zealand's Open Source Ambassador from 130 nominations, Lynne Pope has been nominated for her involvement with the content-management system Mambo, and for setting up a website, Katrina Evacuee Help Centre, at www.disastersearch.org, to assist victims of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster. Disastersearch, which was formerly named the Katrina Evacuee Help Centre, was built on a base of Mambo 4.5.2 and through the efforts of a large number of volunteer programmers from the Mambo and Joomla! communities evolved to become an application that can be used in any emergency involving the evacuation and relocation of people. It is an ongoing project and continues development under the leadership of both Lynne and her fellow director of Disastersearch Ltd, Dr John Long. John and Lynne are also members of the Mambo core development team. The New Zealand Open Source Awards recognise and promote: Sponsored by Google, Red Hat, Novell, Catalyst IT and a number of local New Zealand organisations, the awards will be presented at a gala function in Wellington, NZ on October 17th, 2007. |
