GGMUG

To go with Keith Rome's Games For The Web With Silverlight 2.0 presentation at our June 12th meeting we have our very first contest.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to develop a web game using Silverlight 2.0 before the July meeting.

Microsoft has been very generous in donating a Zune for the 1st place winner! We will be working with other companies to get more prizes donated for the 2nd and 3rd place winners as well.

The rules are simple:

1) You MUST attend BOTH the June and July meetings to win (6/12/08 and 7/10/08).

2) Judging will by by voting by all attendees of the July meeting.

3) In the event of a tie, there will be a head-to-head vote to break the tie.

4) You must be a member in good standing of GGMUG to enter. This is not an open contest for anyone in the wide, wide world of sports. Rule number 1 pretty much covers this one...

5) The game must be playable with the Silverlight 2 player in a browser.

More rules may be added (as we think of them...) and will be presented at the June meeting.

We're not a huge group yet, so your odds of winning a Zune look pretty good! Come on out to the meetings and let's have fun with this one!

GGMUG.com now has a job board complete with our first listing!
