You may remember the announcement of the code war competition last week for tomorrow week at Day 0, WebDU:
http://www.rocketboots.com.au/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=2D14685D-D381-1033-FB37E4910079A845 Well, lets just say that we haven't been overwhelmed by responses (if silence were deafening, my ears would be bleeding at this point). We've got the venue, we've ordered the trophy and the AV equipment, the tasks are in development and now all we need are EIGHT LOCAL TEAMS! Here's a little story. As National UG co-ordinator I've usually gone to some lengths to haul heavily jet-lagged Adobe presenters directly out of their airline seats and prop them up in front of a crowd of enthusiastic locals at Day 0. But earlier this year when I took an informal poll of what people would like to see a lot of people told me that they'd like to see more local content. After much wondering about how to get locals up at Day 0 to present (extortion, kidnapping, mind control etc) I came up with this idea from a reasonably well known book called Peopleware. It should be a great way for people to get up and have fun without having to prepare a slide deck, demo code and all the other stuff presenters have to do. It's supposed to be funny, non-serious etc. The audience are going to have had at least two or more beers each by the time the first match starts... So, over to you, Adobe community. If you want to see a code war, get a team together - or make one out of your existing dev team. You don't have to attend the conference to come. If you don't have a team but would like to be in one, let us know and we'll introduce you to others in the same boat. I for one would love to see this go ahead, but if we haven't got some teams in by the end of the week it looks like we'll have to can it.
