IBM is sponsoring a special contest at ApacheCon 2004 US, and donating some very nice prizes, including a first prize of a ThinkPad model T42, with 1GiB of memory, 40GiB of disk, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM, and integrated wireless networking. Another major prize will be a free round trip airline ticket (from anywhere in the world) with full registration packet to ApacheCon 2005 EU and complimentary registration to ApacheCon 2005 US. The contest involves developing code using the Apache Derby package (http://incubator.apache.org/derby/). There is documentation about the package on the project's Web site, and one of the ApacheCon tutorials the Sunday before the conference is a half-day devoted solely to the Derby software ? and to make it even more useful, that tutorial has been made free! So if you're interested in participating but aren't sure what Apache Derby is all about, there's still time and opportunity to learn from the documentation or in an intensive class given by one of the community developers. The contest is to take place ON-SITE at ApacheCon, and the rules and details will be announced at the conference Opening Plenary. Submissions for the contest will be accepted from Monday morning until Tuesday evening, after which they will be evaluated by a panel of judges. The results of the contest will be announced at the Closing Plenary session on Wednesday evening, and the prizes will be awarded at that time. NOTE: You must be present at the Closing Plenary in order to win any prizes! No details about the contest rules or parameters will be available until the conference Opening Plenary, so please don't ask! :-) - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQYlUrJrNPMCpn3XdAQEUrQQAsgDOp6x1MDlBbWDAuD30UauG96nsM1u3 +LXMh/2kPJup5f6/YUL9MnjstO3J6TyRaef4vfToTO1KNfsfxQ6KX4p99SmQZlED DaFs/F8ujIf96mDcJw85PBFsu4XOViRrufDWEiInTvjoXZszyk8iHgCPAjooZVbu uDtEpzbDDJI= =oUY4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
