The question is, ‘What is an Approved CQ’

I had the honor of returning as a judge for this year’s Eclipse Community Awards, presented last week at EclipseCon. (I also judged the awards in 2006 and 2007).

This is one of my favorite awards to judge, although it’s not easy to determine the winners. The quality of the Eclipse-based tools and technologies gets better every year.

The difference between winner and finalist is razor-thin. You can see the list of winners here.

This year, the Eclipse Foundation continued the tradition of give out the awards during a fun-filled ceremony. We presented during breaks in a fast-paced game of Eclipse Jeopardy, hosted by Bjorn Freeman-Benson.

It’s worth mentioning, in case you’re ever in a game of Eclipse Jeopardy, that the question for most answers is, “What is an Approved CQ?”

(A CQ is a Contribution Questionnaire, used to document the origin of source code to ensure sure it meets the Eclipse Foundation IP policies.)

    Actually, no you can’t. The link is malformatted, although pulling off the prepended matter allows me to see the article on SD Times.

    Just thought you’d wanna know.
