Celebrating the 2023 Opensource.com Community Choice authors AmyJune Wed, 01/25/2023 - 03:00

Often our first interaction with open source is through community knowledge bases.

This past year, I have had the fantastic opportunity to work with the many authors here at Opensource.com (and bring in some new ones!). I am fortunate enough to meet with our Correspondents program authors weekly and see some authors at in-person and virtual conferences. We are diverse in our knowledge, locations, backgrounds, and uniquely lived experiences.

Each January, we celebrate the community of authors at Opensource.com. So, (drumroll please), I’m pleased to present the People's Choice Award winners for 2022!

The methodology
