The Free Software Foundation is now accepting nominations for the 2017<br>
"Project of Social Benefit Award," presented to the project or team<br>
responsible for applying free software, or the ideas of the free<br>
software movement, in a project that intentionally and significantly<br>
benefits society in other aspects of life.<br>
<br>
If anyone is willing to nominate the acs package, the recognition<br>
would be much appreciated -- the package has been generous supported<br>
by MIT and the Puget Sound Regional Council, as well as a great deal<br>
of user-feedback and creative development on the part of the<br>
ACS/Census/R community.<br>
<br>
The nomination form is quick and easy -- see<br>
