Hi everybody,<p>We're happy to announce that first Spawnfest (48 hour programming contest for Erlang, much like Rails Rumble and Node Knockout) is scheduled for 9th and 10th of July 2011. Our committee is currently working on competition rules and sponsors/prizes. We've secured some of the big names in the Erlang community as judges and planning to involve more judges so that every team gets fair review.<p>We're very excited about this opportunity to show the world what Erlang/OTP is capable of! The contest is not limiting entrants to web applications, in fact, we'll be having nominees in different categories.<p>You can register your team at <a href="http://spawnfest.com/" rel="nofollow">http://spawnfest.com/</a>
