Organizing and running a conference like MWLUG is all about having the right team of volunteers. I put an enormous amount of time this year into MWLUG, but without the MWLUG 2011 volunteers it would not be possible. A number of other volunteers were not able to make it do to conflicts in their schedule. Where was Mike McGarel, you missed the picture taking. Having collaboration tools like Skype, Dropbox, and LotusLive help a lot. Special thanks to Bernie Leung for organizing the new Social Business track and getting LinkedIn to present at the opening session, Prominic.net for hosting MWLUG and the XPages Design Contest, and the Dukes for bringing "This Week in Lotus" to MWLUG. Thanks everyone.

Thank you everyone for participating in the MWLUG 2011 XPages Design Competition. We were hoping to have more entries, but we know it takes a lot of effort for submitters to create an entire application for a competition. We received a total of two entries. The winner of the MWLUG 2011 XPages Design Competition is Ferry Kranenburg who happens to also be a winner for the OpenNTF Custom Control competition. In addition to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, Ferry will receive from Teamstudio, one development license and 10 user license of their Unplugged solution. In addition, Teamstudio will help convert Ferry's app if possible to a mobile app using their tools. Baiju Thomas will receive a Amazon $100 gift card as runner up. Special thanks to all our judges and Mike McGarel for running this competition.

The TWIL team, Lisa and Darren Duke, will be podcasting live at MWLUG 2011 during lunch on Thursday, August 25, 2011. They will be interviewing a number of attendees and speakers. So stay tune.

MWLUG Conference 2011 begins tomorrow starting with a trip to the Miller-Coors Brewery and some free samples of beer. Following the tour will be our Evening Reception at the MWLUG 2011 Exhibitor Showcase with food and drinks. There is still time to register if you are interested in coming.
