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.

Congrats to Mitch McCoy for winning the radmon drawing for the survey contest. Here is what Mitch has to say about Why people should attend CFUnited. "If you are a beginner, the sessions are good at demystifying something that could be intimidating. For the advanced developer, you can pick up some fresh ideas."

So other great quotes from others about "Why people should attend CFUnited"

"CFUnited is the premiere ColdFusion event where all members of the CF community, regardless of experience and skill level, come together to discuss and debate the latest techniques and technologies involving web application development with ColdFusion." -Brian S.

"The ColdFusion landscape is changing very rapidly and those developers who don't stay "up-to-date" will be left "in-the-dust". CFUnited is a great opportunity to catch up with all the latest and greatest enhancements in ColdFusionMX and especially the upcoming Scorpio release!" -Patrick S.

"After attending CFUnited Express in NYC this Spring, I saw the potential of CFUnited 2007. Its a conference full of information that will get you up to date on all the latest and greatest in the ColdFusion Developers world today. I am not missing any Teratech conferences anymore. Frameworks Conference and CFUnited Express proved that you can get so much more knowledge and training from few days on the conference, versus paying much more attending a class and getting much less for the money. I spoke to CFUnited 2006 attendees who cant stop praising the event. There are sessions for everyone, from developer to the manager. Can't wait for June 27th. Thanks!" -Elena A.

"Because it's a great opportunity to network with other developers and it's more fun than any human being should ever be allowed to have!!!" -Steven R.
