Sun announces Open Source $1,000,000 Innovation Award

Sun announces a $1 Million Open Source Community Innovation Awards Program which will foster innovation and recognize the most interesting initiatives within open source communities worldwide.

Beginning in mid-January 2008, Sun and the six open source communities (Glassfish, NetBeans, OpenJDK, Open Office, OpenSparc and OpenSolaris) will announce details on how developers can participate in the individual programs. Each community will have its own contest rules and judging criteria.

You can check back on January 14, 2008 for more details on the Open Source Community Innovation Awards Program and how you can help power the participation age at the Community Innovation Awards Program site.
