After countless hours of evaluating, reading, reviewing and thinking about all the 41 submission to the 2010 Swiss Open Source Awards on September 1st the winner ceremony was held at the Kongresshaus in Zurich.
The award was sponsored and organized by /ch/open, a Switzerland based group to promote and support Open Source in Switzerland. This year I had the great honor and pleasure to be part of the jury. Our group of eight had to evaluate over 40 submission in three different categories. After a first round, in which three to four nominees were found for each category, the jury had to choose the winners for each category.
The winners in each category are the following:
- Business (a company building their service/project on open source software)
- Doodle, the number one collaborative scheduling service
- RunMyAccounts, an online accountant service
- Contribution (a company/team contributing open source projects to the community)
- Magnolia, a professional and open sourced Java CMS
- Advocacy (a person or team that is advocating for open source software and standards)
- Edit Graf-Litscher and Christian Wasserfallen, politicians and presidents of “Digitale Nachhaltigkeit”
To all the winners and nominees, congratulations and much success for your projects and companies in the future.
Last but not least I would like to thank /ch/open for sponsoring and organizing such an important award for the Swiss Open Source community. This years shows once more, how many Open Source projects are based in Switzerland and how vivid the community is. And a big thank you to Florian Kammermann, for coordinating the whole process so professionally and his patience with the jury. It wasn’t easy 😉
