Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the narrowing-it-down dept.

chromatic writes "O'Reilly & Associates is working with COMDEX to create an Open Source Innovation Area. We've nominated 21 important, interesting, and useful applications. Here's your chance to vote on the six most deserving applications. Steve Mallet has more details in his weblog." There's lots of good choices for applications on the list as well. Chances are that you've used one of them at least once.

    Oh, great, let's send a legally questionable program to COMDEX and get it in the spotlight. MS , Real, Intel and Apple won't care that we ignore the EULA's and strip out dll's from their applications in order to make it work.

    Maybe do a dual booth with Mplayer and DeCSS just to really make certain two of our most important desktop apps get removed.

    Great thinking guys...
