Sun has announced the winners of the OpenSolaris Community Innovation 
Awards: http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-09/sunflash.20080918.1.xml.

For the last 10 months the OpenSolaris Community Innovation Awards 
Project, which is part of the Advocacy Community, has been running a 
program to give away $175,000 to contest winners and students doing 
undergraduate research. Program activities took place in the open on 
multiple forums within the community. Entries ranged broadly to include 
code and non-code contributions -- artwork, documentation, websites, 
distributions, tools, and applications. Also, participants got involved 
from a variety of countries around the world, and many of them are 
continuing to work on their projects in the community.

We are proud to announce the winners here:

The Project Team: Over a dozen people at Sun and in the community 
participated in specifying and implementing the OpenSolaris Community 
Awards Program -- everything from creating the rules, setting up the 
project spaces and lists, publicizing the effort among community 
members, dealing with the media, working with entrants, managing the 
flow of applications, judging, and interfacing with Sun. Here are the 
members of core team who ran the project at various stages: Alta Elstad, 
Bonnie Corwin, Jim Grisanzio, James Lui, Teresa Giacomini, Wendy Ames, 
Linda Bernal, Jesse Silver, Ben Rockwood.
