RALEIGH, N.C. — October 19, 2016: Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, has opened nominations for the 2017 Women in Open Source Awards.

Every year, we see more of the impact that women have on open source – through development, community, education, and more. DeLisa Alexander executive vice president and chief people officer, Red Hat

The Women in Open Source Awards include two tracks: The Community track recognizes a woman who volunteers or works on open source software projects, while the Academic track honors one full-time student currently working on open source-related projects while enrolled in a university or college.

  • Community advocacy and management;

  • Design, artwork, and user-experience (UI);

  • Documentation, tutorials, and other types of communications;

  • Marketing;

  • Open content;

  • Open hardware;
