Community Awards Program(Dec 5th, 2007) Sun has announced a multi-year Community Awards program intended to encourage and reward innovation in open source communities. This first year the program covers six Sun-led communities: OpenSPARC, OpenOffice.org, NetBeans, OpenJDK, OpenSolaris and GlassFish. The total amount of $1M is to be split among the communities. Basic legal framework is provided by Sun but each community will design its own rules (within some legal guidelines, etc). Additional details for the Sun-wide program are available here |
