    Hello, and welcome to this month's edition.

    Last month, we announced the winners of the 2007 Community Choice Awards
    during our party at OSCON. There were some surprises, lots of great
    winners, and a good time was certainly had by all. For information
    about the winning projects, visit our Community Hub at
    http://sourceforge.net/community and click on the CCA logo.

    The beta of our Marketplace continues to go well. Our beta participants
    have been creating quality listings to provide our users with access to
    the experts they need...and, in the process, our design decisions are
    being validated one-by-one. Keep a close watch on this new tool, it
    promises to be a hotspot of engineering activity for us over the next
    few months.

    We will need some help, though! We're looking for engineering talent to
    make all the complex things simple around here. If you're in the bay
    area and want to join us, email jobs@corp.sourceforge.com

    Thanks for reading!
