Curt has started a "FGFS contributor of the month t-shirt" competition, aiming to identify the most significant contributor to the FG project each month, with a prize of a great FG T-shirt designed by Torsten's wife. This is a really great opportunity to recognize some of the people who have put in the hard work that makes FG as great as it is. Vote on the forum [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6252 here]. We will of course report the winner in the next newsletter. | |||
