RPi would not be included in the category. For an idea of what would be, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-s...ardware#Boards

As an update: We're going to allow a few more days for feedback on the MCA categories. Early next week we will finalize the categories and start preparing the nominees for feedback.

I feel open-hardware (bolting forth) is one of the next major steps towards freedom for soft and hard worlds.

I am not really sure of the title. "Linux publication of the year" - podcast, magazine, blog?

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure there are enough nominees in any single category and including both podcasts and magazines in the same category doesn't seem ideal.

Note that I really like the "Linux publication of the year" idea, but didn't include it this year for a few reasons.

* We added quite a few categories and this is already the largest MCA category list ever.
* It was a late suggestion and I'd like to ensure there are no perceived personal conflicts. (On the magazine side: I had a column in Linux Magazine for many years, have written for LF, Linux Pro and a couple others and am featured in Linux Journal this month. On the podcast side: I'm currently a co-presenter in Bad Voltage.)
* I'd like additional feedback on how the category should be structured. Should it be a single category with Podcasts and Magazines, a rotating category with Magazines one year and Podcasts the next, something else?

With additional feedback and time to sort it out, this is likely a category we'll add in some form for 2016.

I explained why in post #25. The list you see above is the final list for 2015.
