Unfortunately I am used to <a href="http://eupolitics.einnews.com/news/italy-corruption" rel="nofollow">Italian corruptions stories</a>, but believe me I never wanted to mention you were pushing them. On the contrary I believe you were right pulling Open Source Firms to join the contest, and I am willing to do just the same. Ciao Seth,

I am sorry if you felt like me pointing the finger to you, I just thought you took some role, as it happened to be actually.

Unfortunately I am used to Italian corruptions stories, but believe me I never wanted to mention you were pushing them. On the contrary I believe you were right pulling Open Source Firms to join the contest, and I am willing to do just the same.

I made the same suggestion to a number of other companies that did not win an award and to one other Productivity Award winner. As I explain in the blog entry you link to (thanks!), I'd like to see even more analytics and enterprise-applications vendors enter. It's worth mentioning that the Jolt judges have discussed criteria for assessing potential conflicts of interest and have created a recusal policy for cases where conflicts exist.
