REWARDS

Johan Pelgrim was the winner in a random draw for the
full pass to Android Open, "the first big-tent all-Android conference"
to be held in San Francisco, California October 9-11, 2011... just a few days after JavaOne.
Leading Android experts will be out in full force to share their advice!
- OSCON 2011 Conference
(Portland, OR, July 2011) pass winner was Rachee Singh, chosen for
the most submitted recipes.
Rachee could not attend the conference, so we donated it to a local

winner of a random draw from contributors
who submitted five or more recipes at the end of May.
