    Wow! Great contest.
    Keep putting on great events!

    Any chance any of your events will make it to the west coast? Los Angeles or San Diego? :)

    Thanks guys!

    @Aaron Irizarry – I’ve always wanted to bring FOWA/FOWD to LA, but we can’t afford to right now. Maybe in 2010?

    Snub the Canadians, ‘eh?

  • http://dorisapp.com Demian Turner

    Nice offer – thanks! Btw you have Flash twice on the list.

  • AJ Leon

    Cool contest, Ryan, not a developer or a designer but if I was, I would jump in for sure.

  • http://devauld.ca Wes

    No Canada? Oversight, or do you hate us?

  • http://www.oogly.co.uk Caroline

    Can I enter, I am from the UK, but temporarily in Canada. Still have UK home address!

    Thanks!

  • http://www.indibook.com Richard Lingard

    Great idea – pity we aren’t live yet – can you hold until the summer?!

  • http://www.scommerce.com craig

    This is a great chance for us to get some promotion! Thanks for having this! See everyone at FOWA Miami!

  • http://carsonified.com Ryan

    @Caroline – that’s fine :)

    Re: No Canada – sorry guys. The folks at Betavine are particularily interested in the five countries we’ve listed. I’m so sorry!

  • http://twitter.com/eraevion eraevion

    Lack of other countries (Poland, please!) hurts. Good luck anyway!

    Hey Ryan,

    I live in Holland (The Netherlands)…

    It’s just a tiny hop to the UK or Germany!
    I’ll speak German, Spanish or English (American is a bit of a stretch :-) ).

    Plus I kick serious ass (at many of your webdev categories too!)

    How can they not invite me?!
    :-P

    Anyway, sounds like a cool deal. Kudos!

    This idea should bring good business to the right person.

    Good luck everyone.

    @David Hund – I love that: “Professional asskicker” :) I’m so sorry about the lack of countries!

    Ryan, how/why have you made use of a Google Docs form? I’ve never seen that before, what’s the end product like for you guys? Your own spreadsheet of entrants instead of a database?

    Could be a tutorial in there…

    See you at FOWA London..

    Mark

  • http://www.webcoffee.eu/ Petr Lysak

    The prizes rocks, true. Too bad you’ve set the area restriction…

  • http://carsonified.com Ryan

    @Mark Henderson. It was a discovery of @keirwhitaker. Basically, you go into Google Docs > New > Form. The answers are all stored in a Google Doc. It’s free and it’s brilliant!
