Today was the day of the announcement of the winning entries to the Great NZ Mix & Mash Competition! The organisers and supporters of the Mix & Mash initiative deserve a medal, it’s been a great way to get people to use, re-use and mash-up open data. Congratulations to everyone who entered… and a HUGE Summer of Tech shout out to the winners of the “Best Newbie Mashup”, the Tax Receipt 2010 mashup, Amanda Dorrell and Nick Malcolm (interns at Southgate Labs)!
Also, special congratulations from us to the whole Southgate Labs team, winners of the Best Open Government Service Award for their MPs Playing Cards iPad app.
and to Cameron Prebble (Summer of Code Alumni, not to mention awesome volunteer filmer of Summer of Code & Tech bootcamps and seminars for many years) for his 2 awards: “best use of Google cloud computing services” and ”Outstanding mashup” for the Mashblock.
Again, everyone who entered: You Rock! We look forward to experiencing your mash-ups and look forward to more of the same!
