Sourceforge 2008 community awards‘ nominations this year were open to all open source projects, even to projects not enlisted within SourceForge.net repository. The SourceForge.net community’s members massively vote for OpenOffice.org, who actually won three different award categories (Best Project, Best Project for Enterprises, Best Project for Educators).

I agree with Matt Asay, saying that he doesn’t see OpenOffice.org fitting the Best Project for Enterprises, at least until enterprises will start using it significantly, something we are still missing to see for a number of reasons. My suggestion indeed was to vote for it in the “Most Likely to Change the World” category, eventually won by Linux.
