The 19th Jolt Annual Award ceremony, held at the SD WEST 2009 earlier this month, celebrated many open source winners this year, also in the books general and books technical categories.
Postgres Plus is the Jolt Winner of the Database Engines and Data Tools category, and I tend to agree with Ed Boyajian, Enterprise DB CEO, saying that the award is an indication that the software industry understands that open sources databases are an increasingly disruptive force in the enterprise market.
And Sonar (http://sonar.codehaus.org), released under LGPL, also wins a productivity award behind easyb in the Testing Tools category ;o)
Thanks for the honor. Everyone at MindTouch is really excited about the award. I noticed last week someone had put the Jolt award in the foyer of our office with a lamp to light it. True story. 🙂
Roberto,
I really like you web site’s mission statement:
“equally critical of proprietary and open source myths, advocating software choice beyond marketing and romanticism”
The more people cutting through the hype and fanboy noise, the better.
Thank you! I wish you great success in your work.
devdanke,
