I'm really curious to see which vendors and the breadth of product markets that will be represented in the "Best Commercial Open Source Project" category. How will voters define "best"? Best to use without paying for the commercial product derived from the project? Best to support a vendor revenue stream? Both!?
I also wonder if (/why) Microsoft is (not) sponsoring the Community Choice Awards, since the company made a splash about sponsoring the 2008 awards.
Looking forward to seeing the nomination results and the final voting...
