Maarten and I were full of ideas but had no time.<br /><br />At least we had some fun. <br /><br />Next time we enter the competition.

I think the bar for entry was too high, and/or prizes too low. We&#39;ll correct that and start some more community contests soon.

<div class="quote-title">Malek Tarboush:</div><blockquote>nice <br />but it may be better if you accept something like video training<br />like how to make a sample portlet ( theme , hook etc ) and playing with other liferay services<br /><br />but it still nice and waw i would love to win the amazon kindle lol<br /><br />regards</blockquote><br /><br />Great idea, and you can definitely make a creative training video! I&#39;d probably avoid doing a 100% screencast/demo. Make it creative, funny and instructive at the same time and you just might win <img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/happy.gif" >
