As the organiser of the Scottish Open Source Awards for a couple of years we watched in wry amusement as this event was being organised. It was supposed to be "Open Source Scotland" and yet there was no attempt by the organisers to reach out to me or my colleagues, all well known Open Source practitioners in Scotland. Open Source is about community. If you're doing something like this without engaging with the community, it is more likely to end in failure. It sounds to me like the WP is a cover for a deeper malaise ... and lack of engagement is just one of the symptoms.
