OpenUp – Share your code and win a trip to PDC
We have just lunched a new developer competition called OpenUp.
The basic idea is to create a cool open source project and to enter it into the competition.
The projects should be release to the open source through CodePlex and under the MSPL license. We have a web site that hosts the competition and references the projects in CodePlex.
As for the prizes-
· Every one that submits a project gets a cool T-shirt.
· Every month we will pick the most popular project submitted that month from CodePlex, and the owner of the project will get a Mobile Memory Mouse 8000.
· At the end of the competition we will pick the all-time popular, submitted project and the owner gets to go to PDC on our expense.
As an open source developer for a very long time now, I can tell you it feels great to share your code and ideas with the open source community. (and it is good for the CV as well :)
So think of a great idea, release the code as open source, and send the details to openup@microsoft.com.
