Open Source is probably the most disruptive movement in Information Technology since the mass adoption of the Internet.

Open Source is set to change IT and change it for the better. Open Source is happening here in Scotland and across the globe.

Now in its third year, the Scottish Open Source Awards has three principal aims:

Stimulate To excite students and young people about the creative potential of Open Source

Promote To educate business users about the cost, security and flexibility benefits of using Open Source technologies

Reward To recognise those individuals, companies and organisations in Scotland that are contributing to the growth of Open Source

The Awards nominations for 2009 are now open.
