Do you disagree with our categories? Think that some deserving soul is being passed over? Or you think that you deserve $2,000? Well, this is the catch-all bin of the awards - so head over to the nomination booth and let your voice be heard.

  3. OpenVerse Visual Chat by cruise · · Score: 2

    With no funding, OpenVerse is most deserving of a $2000 award.

    http://openverse.org is where you can see info on this project. We could use the money to pay for the web space we are using.

  4. new thoughts on helpdesk tracking. by Soulfire56 · · Score: 2

    My vote goes to a pair of students at Drew University. Erik Larsson and Del Sockel. In 3 weeks they managed to create a Web based helpdesk tracking and asset management software based completely upon open-source/freeware materials. MySQL, PHP, PERL, and JavaScript being the base of the work, and this is without any prior experience with PHP or MySQL.

    And now they're rewriting it with mod_perl to be an apache module content handler that can do it all much faster and more reliably. Sorry to ramble, but I tend to think it's impressive.
