Jeff Elkner Wins Knowledge Trust Award from UNC

My buddy Jeff Elkner was honored with the Louis Round Wilson Knowledge Trust Education Award for his work on the Open Book Project. Other winners this year were Groklaw’s Pamela Jones, Brewster Kahle of archive.org, David P. Reed of Reed’s Law fame, Michael Jones of Google Earth, Tom Blanton of National Security Archive, and Ryan Allis of iContact.

In an irony typical of the interaction between the academy and the web, I can't find anything online about the awards except this blog post.

The Awards aren't announced in advance so it takes about a week for the press release etc to get out. Start here for more on the Knowledge Trust in the meantime.

Wait! It went out on Friday. Here it is!
