CNET to Award Open Source Initiatives

Posted by Zonk on from the hats-off dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET's 2005 awards will for the first time include a category for Open Source Initiative of the Year. The winner will be announced at a gala dinner in London's swanky Park Lane Hilton in September. It's good to see such explicit acknowledging of the work being done by the open source community."

    Keep in mind, though, that working on OSS projects applies as 'experience'. If you're fresh out of school with the ink still wet on your CS degree, working for OSS for a while will most definitely get you a higher starting salary when you put it on your Resume.

    Unless you go to work for SCO or MS.
