vote for XBMC!
as many of you know boxee is powered by XBMC, which is one of the best open-source projects ever. now SourceForge is having their 2008 Community Choice Awards, and it would be great if you could show your love to boxee/XBMC by casting your vote for XBMC.
Team-XBMC have recently received the news that the XBMC media center project has been nominated as finalist in the SourceForge.net 2008 Community Choice Awards (CCA) in no less than seven categories! this is the third annual SourceForge CCA - in the first year XBMC won two of the categories (”best multimedia project” and “best game project”), and last year it was nominated in six categories however not enough XBMC fans voted so we did not win any category 
please registered a user on SourceForge.net (registration is free) and then vote for the XBMC project in one or more categories.

all sounds great … what does it have to do with Boxee. It’s great that XBMC is favorably recieved, but it says nothing about your product, which most of us have no opinion on … because we can’t use it … because you only want so many to …
XMBC is OSS, get on or stay off the bandwagon, please …
@ross - boxee is powered by xbmc. it’s not about what it says about boxee, but rather, if you use and like boxee, show your appreciation to xbmc.
boxee is oss as well, people in the alpha can and do download the source code, and again, from xbmc perspective, we ask people who want to contribute code to boxee, do it by contributing code to xbmc.
we limit the number of alphas out there for a few reasons, but mainly because it has a server side tie-in, and number of users has ramifications on scaling.
