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

[Brian Conley]

Thanks all, speaking for Small World News, I'd like to say we have been
excited and honored to work with the Guardian Project, as well as our other
partners in the development of StoryMaker, Free Press Unlimited and Radio
Free Asia, without whom it wouldn't be possible.

We look forward to hearing whom among this group if exceptional finalists
is chosen. I wish I could be in New York next week, but we are currently in
Cairo and will be in Iraq working on testing and implementation of the
alpha version.

We will be making a more public announcement soon about the project. Feel
free to email me privately if you'd like to know more.
