Cisco Contest Milepost on Journey to Open Innovation
,----[ Quote ]
| Bernhard Beckmann's Team BugsBernie from
| Germany won US$20,000 for their
| Integrated Surveillance System
| application. Basically, their app turns
| an IP phone into a silent
| microphone/monitor that tracks noise
| levels in the room. If their is too loud
| a noise (based on a configurable decibel
| level), a notification is sent where ever
| you want: a security company, the actual
| owner of the room, whomever. Oh, and try
| to pull the cord out of the phone, and
| the alarm goes off, too.

The Social Desktop Winners
,----[ Quote ]
| After combining the community votes with
| the votes from the jury we have 4
| winners. We are especially trilled that
| the winning submission of the contest,
| the "ExtendedAboutDialog for KDE apps" is
| not only fully implemented and working,
| it already ships with Amarok 2.2! So you
| probably already have it on your hard
| drive...

Cisco becomes a major Linux server vendor overnight
,----[ Quote ]
| I wrote about Cisco's contest last June as Cisco's
| way of paying developers to stick a finger in the
| Microsoft eye with a $100,000 bounty for writing
| Linux-based applications for its AXP (Application
| Extension Platform).
|
| I clearly underestimated Cisco's ambitions.
