[liberationtech] Announcing finalists (and soon winners) for the Access Tech Innovation Prize

[Brian Duggan]

Thanks, Gustaf!

A quick note: Flashproxy was started and is maintained by David Fiefield at
Stanford University. The Open Technology Institute developed a proof of
concept that demonstrated that Flashproxy could be easily distributed
through a Facebook application. OTI's application was strictly to fully
develop the Facebook application, and David was supportive of our
application.

We at OTI couldn't come up with a decent name for the Facebook application.
Just wanted to clarify that David, not OTI, is the primary driver behind
Flashproxy :)
