CCDC 09 is over though it’s spirit lives on

I want to thank everyone who participated ccdc for co-creating a fabulous weekend, where artists, hobbyists and programmers developed some amazing applications. Personally I was surprised by the quality level, and every team achieved outstanding results, all within a very short timeframe.

I want to thank all our sponsors who made this event a success. The sponsors listed, in no particular order: http://cocoastuff.com/ http://kea.dk/ http://nabz.dk/ http://comprendo.dk/ http://oredev.org/ http://unity3d.com/ http://mocsystems.dk/ http://www.apress.com/

I want to thank MealsOnWheeels for delicious food and great service.

I want to thank Joachim Bondo, Jakob Møller, Jakob Dam Jensen, and Philip Bruce, for insightful lectures, and all the effort they put into their teachings.

I want to thank Simon Møller, Joachim Bondo, and Nikolaj Sonne, for their jury participation, and their just verdict.

Lastly I want to thank Anka, the cleaning-lady, for her help and her midnight support when the alarm went off, and the guards almost threw us out.

My heart goes to Fredrik Olsson, and Jonathan Bunde-Pedersen, that for unfortunate reasons were unable to attend the event and host their intended lectures.

The winning application was EcoTrip, a “car pooling made easy ” application, the follow-ups were EcoDriver, and Windmill.

Throughout the week I will aggregate developer diaries from the event and post them here on the blog, so stay tuned for more information regarding the cool applications we developed.

iGuy and Mark Wubben filmed the App presentations, I will make sure to link to their videos as soon as they hit the internet. We have a flickr pool as well, so if you took any photos during the event, share them there.

We had a surplus of 1760,00 kr., the money will be given to Reden København, a charity organization helping prostitutes and trafficked women.

I hope to see a ccdc x (x being the roman numeral for 10) sometime next fall, until then attend NSCoder Night and CocoaHeads for all your social-developer-needs.

That was it, I hope to see you all at NSCoder Night this Tuesday.
