$username,

A reminder: Voting for the 2017 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards is now open. The Members Choice Awards allow the Linux community to select their favorite products in a variety of categories. Awards will be given out in 38 categories this year, including Desktop Distribution of the Year, Open Source Game of the Year, Privacy Solution of the Year, Container of the Year, and more. The polls will close on February 7th. Visit https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ds-4175620798/ for more information and https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ce-awards-126/ to go directly to the polls. Vote now and make sure your voice is heard.

The official LQ poll series continues. This time we want to know: What are some open source projects you wish more people knew about? There are a huge number of interesting open source projects that don't get the attention or exposure they should. This is your change to help change that. Visit https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ut-4175622165/ nad let us know.
