Just voted in the SourceForge.net 2008 Community Choice Awards. Skipped a couple of categories for lack of knowledge, mostly (either didn’t know any of the participants, didn’t know enough of them, or felt that the few that I did know probably shouldn’t win in that category).
Here are my choices:
- Best Project
- KeePass Password Safe — Now it seems almost unbelievable I used to use text files for storing my passwords in the past. I’m using the Linux port, obviously.
- Best Project for the Enterprise
- OpenOffice.org — duh.
- Best Project for Educators
- OpenOffice.org — ditto.
- Most Likely to Be the Next $1B Acquisition
- Did not vote.
- Best Project for Multimedia
- VLC — I picked it over Audacity just because it’s more versatile and hence better suited to win under a ‘Multimedia’ title.
- Best Project for Gamers
- Did not vote.
- Most Likely to Change the World
- Ubuntu — You better believe it.
- Best New Project
- Did not vote.
- Most Likely to Be Ambiguously Accused of Patent Violation
- Wine Is Not an Emulator — Don’t use it that much myself, but still hope I’m wrong about this…
- Most Likely to Get Users Sued
- Azureus — Unfortunate as it may be…
- Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins
- phpMyAdmin — I would have wanted to give love to 7-zip in some category. This one came closest to be it, but then I thought it’s really the best utility for a regular user; sysadmins are probably still better off using something more traditional.
- Best Tool or Utility for Developers
- Notepad++ — Even though I haven’t used it myself for some time now (since ditching Windows altogether), I’m still very fond of this excellent editor.
