I am not sure how much could be said in addition to my previous e-mail, but I'll try:
"Czech Open Source 2007" was an award organized by Root.cz http://www.root.cz/, a popular Czech news server oriented on Linux and free software in general, and supported by other projects of the publisher (Internet Info http://www.iinfo.cz). This was the second year the trophy has been awarded.
The award consists of four categories: Project, Software, Event, and Personality. Two prizes are given in each category: in the first one, the winner is decided by an expert jury, in the second one, by public vote. In addition, the prize of "Overall winner" is given to the subject who received the biggest number of reader's votes without regard for category.
Czech Wikipedia has won the reader's vote in the Project category, and has been also declared the overall winner. (The jury has awarded the project prize to the CZilla project, which manages translation of Mozilla software into Czech, and promotes Mozilla products in general.) (Czech press release by Internet Info: http://www.iinfo.cz/tiskove-centrum/tiskove-zpravy/root-czech-open-source-vysledky/)
According to the organizers, they have received about 2500 votes.
