Although we are quite behind schedule, we haven't forgot about last year's master poll for the ultimate Project of the Year. 2016 brought many lows and highs, there were many opportunities to celebrate and to mourn. But we believe the net result was, for all of us, a great deal of progress, and of course many cool software and hardware projects. In the past months, you have finalized the decisions for the Projects of the Months and now it is up to you, again, to find the best of the best!
Thanks for an amazing year with you people, I really enjoyed it. And, looking back, there is really a lot of cool stuff to enjoy! I hope this year will turn out as good as, if not better than, last year and that we will have a big pool to choose the next Project of the Year from!
