I did consider it, but thought that a request for:
Apache Tomcat 5.0 (The Apache Software Foundation)
would be overkill. In much the same way that they have:
Flash Lite 1.1 (Macromedia)
and yet it's correctly referred to as Macromedia Flash.
I can happily add it if there's a few +1s for doing so.

Good note.
It surprises me you don't want to mention the branding issue ("Apache Tomcat"
vs "Tomcat"). I'd think that'd be a point that a publication and commercial
enterprise like SD Magazine would understand well and be completely
sympathetic to.
It's entirely possible the SD magazine intended to honor both the product
(Apache Tomcat) and the JBoss organization. Whether they should link the two
is subject to debate. But the fact that the product should be "Apache Tomcat
5.0" not "Tomcat 5.0" is inarguable.

Due to the timeliness of this, I plan to send it Sunday night. Given that
we're on a weekend, I doubt it will be read until Monday.
Any opinions?

Subject: Tomcat 5.0 error in JOLT announcement
Hi Kate,
I'm writing to let you know about a serious error on your JOLT product
excellence awards press release, and I assume in your forthcoming June 2005
issue:
http://www.sdmagazine.com/pressroom/jolt_winners_2005.pdf
You've incorrectly attributed Apache's Tomcat 5.0 product to "The Apache
Jakarta Project and leading Tomcat contributor JBoss".
There are two, very big, problems with this.
The first is that Apache does not have a concept of leading contributors,
it is completely out of sync with the very philosophies that lie at the
heart of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
The second is that JBoss are not a contributor to Tomcat. Two Tomcat
committers are employed by JBoss Inc, but they commit to projects at the
ASF as individuals and not as members of a company. This is true of all
committers to the ASF, whether the company be Sun, IBM or Fred Bloggs Inc.
We would like to request that this be changed to:
Tomcat 5.0 (The Apache Software Foundation)
in both the press release (pdf url above) and the forthcoming June 2005
issue.
Thanks,
Henri Yandell
V.P., Apache Jakarta
