<incom> APC CHRIS NICOL FOSS PRIZE IN 2007

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear Lisa

Thank you very much for the thought and we will put the necessary 
information on the site and also send to you personally.

I feel really sad today... having started the day thinking about Chris and 
about another close colleague, also a FOSS activist, who died earlier this 
month:  Michael de Beer.

And then when it was time for me to face my mailbox this was the first 
message I opened :)

Kind of nice.

Anriette
