best in show

So exciting I had to post twice about it. Actually, today it's posted at the LinuxWorld web site:

�The winners of the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards represent the best that open source has to offer,� said Warwick Davies, group vice president, IDG World Expo. �With the help of LinuxWorld Magazine and our experienced judges, we have selected the most innovative and effective solutions for users of Linux and open source. We applaud the developers of these solutions for their hard work and dedication to innovation.�

The �Best of Show� award, which recognizes a product deemed by the judges to be an important advancement and a major step forward for Linux in the marketplace, was presented to the Mozilla Foundation for Mozilla FireFox.

And if Best in Show wasn't enough, Firefox also took home the another accolade with "Best Open Source Solution".

The list of judges for this year's LinuxWorld awards include Kevin Bedell, Bill Claybrooke, Gary Hein, Sam Hiser, Dee-Ann LeBlanc, Robin "Roblimo" Miller, Paul Nowak, Brian Proffitt, Stacey Quandt, Bill Roth, Doc Searls, Leon Shiman, John Terpstra, James Turner, Maria Winslow, and John Weathersby.

Given the recent Linux Journal Editor's Choice Award for best Web Browser, I'm beginning to think that maybe Doc Searls likes us :-)
