Yes. Or rather openSUSE. But some times ago, the proper capitalization
was something like SuSE...

OpenOffice won of course. But it is already very good that we were
nominated in this very corporate and commercial events.
 


I wonder how many other projects like ours filled out the forms.

Yes, there is the special jury prize indeed. But the real question is:

Don't know... I guess not. If there's money I'll put that in our PayPal

Well, congrats to us all :-)


Concerning the price, I would be surprised to be nominated in the
'innovation' trophy (since innovation in current newspeak really means
``something vaguely new but sold by a company''). So it has to be IMO
``The best foreign project in Open Source Software carried out''.

Indeed :) Actually, the prices were originally named "Linux d'Or", but
after some complaints they changed it to something more asterix-like.

I inscribed LyX for these categories:

- Meilleur projet d'innovation et de développement Libre réalisé

Most innovative free software project.

- Meilleure projet Libre réalisé au niveau mondial (hors France)

Greatest world-wide free software project (outside France)

I couldn't attach the candidature dossier that I filled in (in French of 
course) but I can send it to whoever is wanting it (I just copied and 
pasted stuff from LyX web site and wikipedia french entry for LyX).
