The first Scottish Open Source Excellence Award has been presented to J P Morgan, and Enterprise Management Consulting Ltd. The Award was presented to the two joint winners by Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer for Sun Microsystems.

The Award was presented at the Scottish Software Awards, on 23rd November at the Raddisson SAS in Glasgow. The event was a great success with over 230 people attending the gala dinner organised by Targeting Innovation in association with Straightline Publishing. The Awards represent the cream of the Scottish Software industry.

Greg Soper, MD of SalesAgility.com, the organisers of the Scottish Open Source Awards, said, “The quality of the entries were very high, the judges finally decided on J P Morgan for their contributions to the Apache Server; and Enterprise Management Consulting (EMC) Ltd who are a home grown Scottish software company with its Headquarters on the Isle of Lewis. It was very much an Elephant and Mouse victory for the first year's Award.”

Other entries for the Scottish Open Source Excellence Award included: EPCC, Edinburgh; Gladserv, Aberdeen; Penguin Factory, Glasgow; Suretec, Aberdeen; and Xtrahost, Edinburgh.

We would also like to extend our Congratulations to each of the winners of Scottish Software Awards.
