Technology Awards

Guidelines

The Technology Awards are determined by a panel of judges. The judges were selected from Eclipse-oriented editors and Eclipse project leaders. The panel of judges determines winners based on a majority vote.

Open source projects and products may be nominated by anyone, and vendors are allowed to nominate their own products.

Judging Criteria

The criteria for judging the commercial and open source product awards are:

1. Usability and intuitiveness of the user interface - is the product user interface easy to understand?
2. Innovation and uniqueness - how cleverly does the product solve the problem?
3. Completeness - how well does the product solve the problem, including technology, documentation, tutorials, web site and community support?

Nominations open December 14, 2007 and close January 25, 2008. Winners will be announced at EclipseCon 2008.

Note: Eclipse is a large, vibrant community of many well-deserving individuals and technologies. Therefore, to ensure diversity of award winners, we have decided that winners from the previous year will not be eligible for a repeat award. This does not mean that they are not deserving, it is just an acknowledgment that others are also deserving of recognition.
