A huge thank you to the OpenNTF Board of Directors for taking the time to carefully review and score each of the entries. You can see the judging criteria on the contest announcement page.

As Chairman of OpenNTF I would like to thank all of the people who participated in the contest and to WebGate and IBM developerWorks for their sponsorship. The community is the ultimate winner here as they now have 20 new assets that can be used to develop and deliver apps.
