> Project Description: The members of this project team are currently working on the OpenSolaris Community Innovation Awards Program [1] based on Sun's announcement of its Open Source community Innovation Awards Program [2]. Activities so far include the following: definition of entries, the number of prizes, the payout amounts, judging issues, infrastructure support, and more. Final rules and schedules will be announced in late January. Awards program work has been taking place in the open via list conversation [3], daily conference calls, and on the Genunix wiki. As documents are completed they will be archived in the project on opensolaris.org, and that project will be the central location for all official contest information. Wiki work will continue to provide site editing flexibility for people to contribute to the contest operations, but contest applicants will be directed to the project on opensolaris.org to participate in the contest itself.
