A Holiday Cocoa Duel apps posted
Mat pointed out A Holiday Cocoa Duel, a charity event where several developers created a holiday themed app in short order, a few days ago. Since then the apps have been posted. Be sure to head on over to A Holiday Cocoa Duel and vote for your favorites. I would be remiss if I didn't point out the snow related apps (it is my thing, you know): Subservient Snowflakes Snowy! Snowplane Go on and vote for one of the apps by donated to the specified charity. Think of these apps as 'feel-good-ware.'
A Holiday Cocoa Duel
Jason Harris over at Unsanity announces A Holiday Cocoa Duel at ten paces. It sounds to me like some kind of make-up between a few Mac devs over the "unpleasantness," as Jason called it, regarding the whole Macheist thing. Apparently inspired by old TUAW favorite Snö, it's a contest similar Ironcoder to write the best holiday-themed application and release it as Open Source software. The winner will be determined by voters contributing money to various charities chosen by the participating developers. According to the site, "the winner is picked by whichever charity got the most donations. And the winner gets the gift pool from the other devs." If you're a Cocoa developer interested in participating you must be willing to contribute "a gift of a $20 value (or two six packs of good beer) for the winner" and you must contact Jason by midnight MST Dec 20th. The winner will be determined by the contribution total as of midnight MST Dec 26th. I'm interested to see what "useless" applications well-known Mac devs like Jason, Gus Mueller, John Casasanta, and others can cook up.
