SD Times 100 reader nominations open early
We were supposed to open up reader nominations on February 1 — but everything is ready, so why hold back?
Judged by the editors of SD Times, the SD Times 100 recognizes the top innovators and leaders in software development.
Most companies, projects and individuals will be nominated for the 2008 SD Times 100 by BZ Media’s editors, as well as an expert group of writers, conference faculty and analysts.
As in previous years, the readers of SD Times may also nominate companies, projects and individuals.
You can learn more about the SD Times 100 here, or jump to the reader nomination form. There is no charge of any sort for participating in the SD Times 100.
Reader nominations will remain open through March 1.
While you’re at it, feel free to offer your nominations for the WORST OF 2007, which is a new award we’re working on!
Would love to see SD Times cover the evolution and development of XBRL is 2008. XBRL is being driven by regulator mandates, such as the FDIC and EU Central Banks mandating XBRL usage for reporting. The SEC is also set to mandate, likely in 2008, for all large filers to file in XBRL. This will drive adoption in the Global 2000 or Fortune 1000 — and lead to broader uses. XBRL International http://www.xbrl.org has some great cases studies on XBRL usage. I recommend the case study on the MIX, the Microfinance Industry Exchange. Or look at Ventana research’s case studies on the topic at http://www.ubmatrix.com/casestudies/
SD Times should cover the evolution and growth of XBRL software usage in 2008. Some case studies are available at http://www.xbrl.org (such as and http://www.ubmatrix.com/casestudies/
