IT Blog Awards 2009: Open Source

Tue 10 Nov 09 20:31 Attention: open in a new window. PDF | Print | E-mail Mister Men Brian Teeman

It doesn't happen often, in fact I think it has only happened once before, but right now I am absolutely speechless and still scraping my jaw off the floor as I simultaneously scrape my head off the ceiling.

In fact it's such a rare event for me to be speechless that it's probably worth making a note in your diaries.

This blog has been shortlisted by ComputerWeekly.com for the award for the Open Source in Business category in the IT Blog Awards.

 

Finally, with the economic downturn affecting all businesses, many are turning to open source products to help minimise licensing costs. This is the category for blogs that share tips and information on making the switch from proprietary to open source.

I would like to publicly thank whoever it was that nominated me for this award I bet you never thought I would be shortlisted but I have been and I am immensely honoured and grateful. Whoever you are I owe you a beer, an Open Source beerOpen Source beer of course.

The winners are announced on the 25th so I don't have too long to wait to find out the results but win or lose I am so honoured to even be short listed.

When I first started working in IT 20 years ago I never dreamed that my name would ever be associated, even in a small way, with ComputerWeeklyComputerWeekly.
