  1. Open Source Rookie of the Year

    Jan 19, 2012 — by haviland

    Even in the Open Source world, tooting one’s own horn is a reason to blog, right? Along with educating, announcing new features, raising awareness, inviting adoption and participation, and asking for feedback.

    This post is one of those shameless brag moments. We wanted to to quack proudly about the fact that the 4th annual Black Duck Software Rookies of the Year program has recognized BrowserID as one of their 2011 winners. We’re honored by the recognition and thrilled to be included in the company of friends and colleagues from projects like Bootstrap and Cloud Foundry.

    Black Duck Software (@black_duck_sw) is a leading provider of products and services for enterprise scale adoption of open source software (OSS), offering automated management, governance, security and compliance tools for licensing OSS across a range of industries.

    The folks at Black Duck are “dedicated to the effective and informed use of open source software” - and so are we. We’re honored to be recognized by a vendor noted for their rigor and professionalism. And it’s great to feel like a rookie, with the best years of Browser ID development and deployment ahead of us.

    Thank you.
