community choice

InfoWorld's annual Bossies awards recognize top free and open source software, and the second annual list of winners is out now.

Unlike SourceForge's Community Choice Awards, where winners are determined by votes from the community, the Bossies are awarded by InfoWorld's editorial and test center staff.

The annual Open Source Viewers Choice — better known as the SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards — have been underway since early June, and the results are finally in.

Plenty of big names top the list, but for some, one has to wonder if it's more dubious than a distinction.

OSCON isn't just a gathering for talks on topics like Creating Location-aware Web 2.0 Applications on an Open Source Geospatial Platform and fightin' words from the stage; it's also an excuse for some interesting social gatherings, like this year's Community Choice awards (organized and sponsored by the corporate overlords at SourceForge, as you might recall, and with Slashdot's own special category), at which, among other festive activities, attendees were offered the chance to get open-source-related tattoos.

This was a "you had to be there" event. We captured all the award presentations and some of the byplay, but most of the fun took place off-camera, and maybe a "What happens at the Community Choice Awards stays at the CCA" attitude is better than trying to show you all the game-playing, drinking, eating, drinking, tattooing, drinking, socializing
