 About the Awards

Open Source software pervades the Internet. It is responsible for
running more Websites and delivering more email than any other
software.

Open Source applications run the mission critical, highly secure
operations for major corporations in finance, energy, communications
and many other sectors.

Open Source has won the first battle. It is recognised as being more
robust, more secure, more performant and less costly than proprietary
competitors. Ask Sun Microsystems - they're building a business on it.

The next challenge for Open Source has already started - business
applications such as CRM and ERP have emerged and have market adoption
and momentum has started.

Yet few business people are aware what Open Source is.

The Scottish Open Source Awards is part of a strategy to promote the
use of Open Source in Scotland and to reward those companies
delivering Open Source excellence.

If you can think someone is deserving then please give them a
nomination.  People get very little thanks in the open source world
for hard work, we should support endeavors that praise those hard
workers in this field
