Webjam 3 was absolutely massive! We broke records in just about every area. We had more speakers than ever before - 18 registered and confirmed, with one extra done on the spur of the moment on the night!
Drinking
Our friends at Tangler and Omnidrive generously ponied up a couple of hundred dollars for the bar to get the night rolling. That was quickly followed up by Adobe's promised tab until the first of our 19 speakers. A trend had been set for the night, with Thoughtworks, Digital Eskimo and our regular supporters, DirectSMS all putting money on the bar during the night
Demoing
We had lots of incredible presentations again this time. I can't wait for all the videos to be done so we can show everybody who missed out on attending the night. Huge thank yous to everybody who voted. And congratulations to all the voters who won copies of Cubicle Commando, supplied by our sponsor, Acid Labs
Big ups need to go to Mr Speaker, winner of Webjam 2, for coming placing second with his web app for removing negative energy from the user simply by the click of a Paypal button... He won a ticket to the shiny lovely Web Directions South in September this year
Dancing
The big winner on the night was obviously the crowd, because they chose Lachlan Hunt's presentation on the VIDEO element from HTML5 as the most popular presentation and were treated to a victory dance the likes of which I'm sure has never been seen before. Congratulations to Lachlan for winning a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium. He definitely earned it!
What Next?
Video of the night will be available soon. Huge thanks to all our sponsors, supporters and helper, without whom we would never be able to put these events on. And the same goes for all the awesome webby geeks who keep rocking up and rocking out!
