[May 15, 2008]

Community-Powered Open Source Awards Just Got More Open

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, May 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --

SourceForge (NASDAQ: LNUX), the leader in
community-driven media and e-commerce, today announced the opening of
nominations for the third annual SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards.
For the first time, all open source projects -- not just those on
SourceForge.net -- are eligible. The awards recognize open source projects
that have the most supportive community following, and those that the
voters believe are built with the highest quality, creativity and
ingenuity. There is no panel of experts involved; the Community Choice
Awards are truly the "people's choice" awards for open source software.

"We realize the success of open source is bigger than any one repository
can contain, even ours," says Ross Turk, SourceForge.net Community Manager.
"Open source has become a force to be reckoned with, and we want to
recognize the communities that have been responsible for changing that
software landscape in such a fundamentally cool way."

The categories for the 2008 Community Choice Awards are:

-- Best Project
-- Best Project for the Enterprise
-- Best Project for Educators
-- Most Likely to Be the Next $1B Acquisition
-- Best Project for Multimedia
-- Best Project for Gamers
-- Most Likely to Change the World
-- Best New Project
-- Most Likely to Be Ambiguously Accused of Patent Violation
-- Most Likely to Get Users Sued
-- Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins
-- Best Tool or Utility for Developers


The nominations will close June 20, 2008, and voting on the finalists will
begin shortly after. The awards party, hosted by SourceForge, is on July
24, 2008, at 6 pm Pacific Time at the Jupiter Hotel in downtown Portland,

OR. The party is open to all, but registration is required. For more
information on the nomination process, or to participate directly, please

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
