The National Broadband Map was a winner in the World Summit Awards, chosen from an international field of around 20,000 entrants from 157 countries.
We're very proud of our contribution to this award—our company built the site for the State Services Commission last year. We're also very pleased to see a government project with open APIs and public source code being recognised with such a prestigious award.
Here in New Zealand, a council website that SilverStripe built and launched last month has also just won an award. The Gisborne District Council website won "People's Choice Best Redevelopment: Website" at last week's ALGIM Conference in Wellington. This means it received the most votes from the delegates at the conference, all of which were fellow council IT and web staff.
Karen Hadfield, Web Administrator for Gisborne District Council, took the award and explained, "we are absolutely ecstatic to win, especially the people's choice category. It's the absolute icing on the cake, and means so much to our project team and council."
