O'Reilly Book Wins 1999 Linux Journal Editors' Choice Awards
Best New Book: "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution"


Sebastopol, CA-- "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution"
was awarded the Linux Journal 1999 Editors Choice Award "Best New Book
of 1999" in a ceremony at the recent Comdex trade show.

"We're honored to receive this award, and particularly so because the
book highlighted the real breadth and power of the open source
movement, and the thoughts of many of its leaders, rather than just a
single technology like Linux, which has received the lion's share of
the attention," said Tim O'Reilly, president and publisher of O'Reilly
& Associates.

What the Editors of Linux Journal said:
"Although many excellent technical manuals were introduced this year,
a comprehensive collection of open-source insights and philosophy
means more to the community at large than any one, single technical
manual. We are in the midst of a revolution, a period in the history of
computers which hopefully we can appreciate before it is over and we
look back on it. Open Source is a movement which runs much deeper than
many of us appreciate, encompassing those who are concerned with the
capability of producing high- quality, powerful software, and those who
uphold freedom, community and principles as the core of the philosophy.
This book helps us to appreciate the true meaning of our movement."

"Open Sources" has earned considerable critical acclaim. In
"OpenSources", Open Source pioneers such as Brian Belendorf (Apache),
Scott Bradner (Internet Engineering Task Force), Jim Hamerly
(Netscape), Kirk McKusick (Berkeley Unix), Tim O'Reilly (O'Reilly &
Associates), Tom Paquin (mozilla.org.), Bruce Peren (Open Source
Initiative), Eric Raymond (Open Source Initiative), Richard Stallman
(Free Software Foundation), Michael Tiemann (Cygnus Solutions), Linus
Torvalds (Linux), Paul Vixie (Bind), Larry Wall (Perl), and Bob Young
(Red Hat) share their vision of the Open Source movement.
