Canadian User Group Contest
 Microsoft Canada is making mobile devices, smart systems and .NET the focus of the 2004 Inter
Usergroup Competition. Registered MSDN Canada .NET user groups from across Canada are being given the opportunity to compete in a software design challenge that is intended to highlight and reward excellence in the field of programming. The teams that are
successful in combining their own mobile client application along with their own web service to create a solution that "improves the
quality of developer life" will advance through regional finals in February of 2005 to compete with other finalist for the grand prize sometime in March of 2005.  Besides bragging rights, each of the members of the first place team will walk away with a new SPOT Watch and their
user group will host a Microsoft Sponsored BBQ and the team will receive one free pass to the next Dev Teach conference in Montreal.
We will be encouraging all of the teams to keep us abreast of their status
and to keep a diary of progress. Once the teams are either out of the
competition or victorious we will then share those team diaries with the readers
so that we can all learn and benefit from their trials and tribulations.
