I have good news and bad news. The good news is that so far there only have one entry for Ben Nadel's open source CF programming contest (with a deadline of Tuesday 6/5/07). With a first prize of a Wii AND a $1000 valued ticket to CFUNITED (and second and third prizes of 50% off your registration), the current only entrant Brice Mason is 100% certain to win! So if anyone else has some cool CF code that you want to make open source you would have a 50% chance of winning the top prize, and a good chance of winning something! You don't have to duplicate a paid component - just do something cool and make it open source. Perhaps you even have some code lying about your computer that is ready to submit as you read this... That code could snag you a Wii and CFUNITED ticket!

I guess the bad news is that if other people do enter by Tuesday that Brice's chances go down.
