The Free Software Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Free Software Awards, annual honors presented to individuals and projects that make significant contributions to software freedom.

Established to recognize work that advances users’ ability to use, study, modify, and share software, the awards highlight the technical, social, and community impact of contributors across the free software ecosystem.

This year’s Award for the Advancement of Free Software went to Andy Wingo, co-maintainer of GNU Guile, reflecting his long-running work on Guile, a central component of the GNU operating system and the Scheme foundation of GNU Guix.
