SourceForge unveils winners of 'open-source Oscars'
« on: July 28, 2007, 07:27 AM »
Popular open-source software development site SourceForge.net hosted the equivalent of the open-source Oscars on Thursday evening, billing the event as a big party, not a painfully long and formal awards ceremony.

File archiver 7-Zip won the top award as all-over best project and also picked up the prize for best technical design.
(emphasis is mine).

Couldn't help but chuckle at that part. Anybody who have dealt with the LZMA SDK from 7zip probably feels the same.
