The Mozilla Foundation has announced it is launching an award programme, to support open source and free software groups.
The initial allocation for the awards will be US$1 million, initially to groups which Mozilla depends on, and later to other groups which help to make the community better.
Mitchell Baker, chief executive of the Foundation, said in a post on her blog: "The Mozilla Open Source Support programme is designed to recognise and celebrate communities who are leading the way with open source projects that contribute to our work and the health of the web."
Input has been sought on the design of the programme and suggestions can be sent to the Mozilla Open Source Support mailing list.
The Foundation will start immediately implementing awards forfor open source and free software projects on which Mozilla relies. It has started compiling a basic list.
"Our goal is to identify up to 10 projects we rely on and can fund in a thoughtful, meaningful way by December 12," Ms Baker wrote.
The Foundation has invited the community to identify projects that are good candidates for the awards.

INTRODUCING ITWIRE TV
iTWire TV offers a unique value to the Tech Sector by providing a range of video interviews, news, views and reviews, and also provides the opportunity for vendors to promote your company and your marketing messages.
We work with you to develop the message and conduct the interview or product review in a safe and collaborative way. Unlike other Tech YouTube channels, we create a story around your message and post that on the homepage of ITWire, linking to your message.
In addition, your interview post message can be displayed in up to 7 different post displays on our the iTWire.com site to drive traffic and readers to your video content and downloads. This can be a significant Lead Generation opportunity for your business.
We also provide 3 videos in one recording/sitting if you require so that you have a series of videos to promote to your customers. Your sales team can add your emails to sales collateral and to the footer of their sales and marketing emails.
