Sun - An Open Source Advocate
Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer@Sun was in India last week to present a talk. During his visit in India he announced a "Sun Open Source Community Innovation Awards".
This for sure is one of its kinds where Sun will divide $1M amongst its six Sun owned/controlled FOSS communities. Communities in turn will propose how to use the cash to award contributors.
This year's participants include
OpenJDK,
OpenSolaris,
GlassFish,
NetBeans,
OpenSPARC, and
OpenOffice.org
This initiative would enable Sun to reach thousands of Open source contributors who wish to contribute for an open source technology. This for sure is going to result in upsurge in growing opportunities for everyone.
