Subject: [Zope-Annce] Zope a finalist for Software Development "Jolt" Awards


Zope is a finalist for best software product of the year in the "Language
and Development Environments" category of this year's Software Development
Jolt Awards. Other finalists are JBuilder, Perl Builder, PHP, WebGain
Studio, and Weblogic EJB Server. The Jolt Awards were launched in 1999 by
yours truly when I was editor of Computer Language Magazine and were the
first awards for the software development tools industry. Philippe Kahn
(once head of Borland) said that the can of Jolt Cola embedded in a block of
lucite is the only award that matters in the programming industry.

Anyhow, I'm one of the judges, as are Scott Ambler (scott@ambysoft.com),
Andy Barnhart (arbarnhart@aol.com), Hugh Bawtree (bawtree@sunwave.net),
Andrew Binstock (alb@pacificdataworks.com), Dana Cline
(dana@logicsmith.com), Gary Evans (gkevans@evanetics.com), Warren Keuffel
(wkeuffel@acm.org), Chris Minnick (cminnick@minnickweb.com), Guy Scharf
(guy@guyscharf.com), and Alan Zeichick (zeichick@acm.org). Let the lobbying
begin!
