Edinburgh, Scotland (PRWEB) January 30, 2008 -- The OpenOffice.org Community, home of the leading free software alternative to Microsoft Office, today announced details of a major new programme from Sun Microsystems to recognise contributors to a selection of Free/open source communities. The OpenOffice.org Community Innovation Program is a contest open to all Community members, designed to foster community development and innovation. There are six broad categories for entries: Technical, Community, Tools, OpenDocument Format (ODF), Documentation and Special. Community Manager Louis Suarez-Potts described the scheme to potential entrants: "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." It is expected that the contest will generate keen interest among current Community members, and bring a surge of new members to the Community. The Community welcomes software engineers, testers, translators, authors, support people, artists, marketing people - "whatever you do well, do it for OpenOffice.org" - see http://contribute.openoffice.org [website __title__ Ways to contribute] Full details are available at http://development.openoffice.org/community_innovation_program.html [here __title__ contest website]. The contest has been backed by $175,000 (USD) of cash awards from Sun Microsystems - part of a $1m investment in open-source community development http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/awards [announced last December].
