Could you (or someone) please write up a quick
explanation in English
for a possible press release?
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:

According to the organizers, they have received about 2500 votes.
