This is a one-way list for WSG Announcements
**************************************************************
Let the games begin!
Webstock <www.webstock.org.nz> and WIPA <www.wipa.org.au> are extremely
pleased to announce the launch of FullCodePress <www.fullcodepress.com>, a
new and exciting series of web events.
The concept is simple: national teams compete against each other to build
a website in 24 hrs, putting national pride and web prowess to the test.
And the real winners of the competitions? The not-for-profit organisation
who is presented with a stunning, fully functional website.
The first competition will take place in Sydney, Australia on 18 August -
a trans-Tasman clash between the best of Australia and New Zealand.
Following that, on the 9th February, and just prior to Webstock 08, teams
from around the world will converge in Wellington New Zealand for a larger
international competition. Think geek Olympics!
The competitions will be judged by a panel with a brief to look at such
aspects as:
- meeting client needs
- web standards and accessibility best practice
- visual design
- innovative coding
Teams will consist of 7 members, covering all aspects of the web
development process.
The process, from start to finish is explained here:

Both Webstock and WIPA are passionate about promoting a web standards
based approach to web design and development. They see FullCodePress as a
way of further spreading this message, whilst at the same time
strengthening ties and connections globally amongst the web industry. And
being able to help out a worthy not-for-profit organisation is the icing
on the cake.
If you are a small to medium sized non-profit organisation that would like a
new website, you can register your non-profit organisation:

Thanks
