On 7 December 2007, Sun Microsystems Inc. announced a new million-dollar fund to foster innovation in six of the open-source projects it
sponsors and contributes to.
We are pleased to report that OpenOffice.org was included.
The contest, which we have titled the OpenOffice.org Community Innovation Program, commences tomorrow, 30 January, and we invite OpenOffice.org Community members to participate.
What do you have to do to enter? To win a prize? Our rules, which will be posted later on today and linked to the OpenOffice.org homepage (www.openoffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org/)), explain these and many other details, and you must read them carefully.
What are we looking for?
In general terms, we are looking for superlative work that is useful to the Community; work that is challenging, that is non-trivial, and that furthers the Community as much as the software.
You can enter alone or in a team; and if you are eligible, you could win a lot of money.
But we explain all this in the rules, the link to which you will be able to find on the OpenOffice.org homepage.
Note: The Program ends 23 June 2008 and begins 30 January 2008.
For questions, send a note to:
community-program@council.openoffice.org
Cheers,
The Members of the Program Committee
