According to Simon Phipps' blog - he's Sun's chief open source officer - Simon's headed to India to announce the new multi-year award program Friday in Bangalore at FOSS.IN. He calls the purse "substantial." Sounds kinda loosey-goosey. He says Sun will work "with the communities involved to develop the approach that works best. He says he's announcing it in India "because that's where I expect the greatest open source community growth to come from in the near future…If we can play a part in catalyzing the emergence of India as a key international open source powerhouse, the effect on the software industry will be huge." Yes, and maybe Sun has a cleaner slate in India.
