Dev Derby Wrap Up: Java Wins
A belated thanks to all of the participants, designers, judges, and volunteers who helped the first Dev Derby be a success. At the end of the day on September 11, 2010, we had five sets of base code for future developers to get them started in addressing a key need for promoting volunteer connections with non-profits.
The judges awarded Team Java the winners of a $500 first prize. The group of developers, led by Lawrence McAlpin, had the most complete offering across the four areas of interest—Design, Technical value, Practical value, and Communications. Congratulations!
The other four teams also received awards of $100. All winning teams should begin receiving their awards this week. We hope to release the code as open source later this week as well.
