SourceForge.net 2008 Community Choice Awards
Anyone who’s spend more than a day surfing the net and checking for software/webware applications, is bound to have stumbled upon SourceForge. To say that they’re an online storage place for source code revisions, would be a great understatement.
Anyways, they’re having their 2008 Community Choice Awards. The good news about their award program this year is that they’ve opened doors to any open source projects hosted anywhere, not just on SourceForge. So if your favorite codes are kept on Codeplex or Google Code, you’re welcome to nominate it to SourceForge’s Community Choice Awards this year.
Some awards are presented to individuals, but that’s not what this program is about. Everyone knows what a few geeks in a garage can accomplish, but support from a community of scale is what really makes open source a force to be reckoned with.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Personally, I’m amazed by the acheivements of the Flex SDK. I don’t yet fully understand the entire scope and ability of this system, but from what I’ve seen online, its a system that’s proving incredibly useful to many developers. It has been nominated for ’Best Tool or Utility for Developers’ (i.e.: The Best Tool or Utility for Developers is a project that makes the most of your precious coding time or allows you to do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do).
Go ahead and nominate your favorites.
