Geronimo Challenge!

IBM is sponsoring a challenge that looks like a hunt for clues that could land you a 42″ plasma TV – who says open source doesn’t pay! (oh, MSFT, that’s right..) All for installing the Apache Geronimo server – not a bad deal.

I find it odd that in 2005 we have companies sponsoring events to use open source projects – but hey at least it’s a true OSS project. Unlike others (ahem, Sun) IBM and HP tend to stick close to the GPL/Apache licenses which I consider essential for the long term viability of OSS.
