As I said in a posting to the Code4Lib email discussion list, I like the model used for the New Zealand Open Source Awards, which recognise both projects and individual contributions. I find it hard to see why other members of the Code4Lib community don't want to celebrate success, which would indicate (to me at least) that the community/software was reaching a new stage of maturity.
