Throughout the year, so many acts of kindness, ingenuity, and dedication go unheralded. In what will now be an annual tradition, we want to recognize those members of the community who’ve gone above and beyond in their service to their fellow community members and their clients. Below is a post to recap our first annual Community Choice Awards which were given our during a rooftop ceremony and dinner on October 24, 2013 during our Mifos Summit in Jaipur. This year we had four planned awards and one surprise one that was bestowed upon me:
- Most Innovative MFI (sponsored by Google): Nuru International
- Most Dedicated Specialist (sponsored by ThoughtWorks) - Conflux Technologies
- Technical Volunteer of the Year - Gurpreet Luthra
- Non-Technical Volunteer of the Year - Deanna McCusker
- Distinguished Service Award - Edward Cable
Most Innovative MFI - Nuru International (sponsored by Google)
This year’s Most Innovative MFI Award was sponsored by Google. When we think of innovation in an open source community, we look for innovative uses of technology, innovative service offerings, and innovative participation. Across the board, Nuru International met all of these criteria.
