90 AIR Applications….Enter the AIR Derby!

Update: As Kevin mentioned, we have received a low number of entries. The deadline is September 5, so that’s why I think everyone on the Wiki should be entering their application. You’ve already done the hard part!

We hit the 90 mark on the AIR Apps Wiki and there are some really cool applications there. I’m hoping to get that list to 100 before MAX, so if you know an application that isn’t there, make sure to add it. It’s really neat to see so many apps built on a platform that’s still in beta. I think we have a lot of excitement.

But I know for a fact that a lot of these applications haven’t been entered in the AIR Developer Derby. Submit all of your applications to the developer derbey. Having been on this process as a judge, I think you’d be really surprised what captures the imagination of the judges and can win. It doesn’t matter how good you think your app is or whether you think it looks “good enough” to compete. Anything can happen in the judging discussion and with both the grand prize and the category prizes, you’ve got a lot of chances to win. Just look at how kick ass these developer machines are:

  • A Mac Pro 8Core with 4 gigs ram, 1.5 TB (2x750GB) of storage.
  • (2) Dell 2707WFP 27″ widescreen monitors.
  • (1) one Sony Playstation 3.
  • (1) $200 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
  • (1) Herman Miller Aeron chair.
  • (1) Bose Quiet Comfort 3 noise canceling headphones.
  • (1) copy of Adobe Flexâ„¢ Builderâ„¢ version 3, Macintosh edition.
  • (1) copy of Adobe Creative Suite® 3 Master Collection for Macintosh.
  • And one squishy stress ball.

That’s awesome! So submit your AIR application no matter how big or small it is. You never know what you might end up winning.

    Uhm, how do you register on the Wiki? I’ve created a PBWiki account (because there seems to be no option to directly create an account on the airapps Wiki). and now if I want to log in with that PBWiki login, it keeps asking me for a password that I don’t have. Confusing!

    Hey sascha, that is kind of confusing. The password is ‘apollo’ without quotes. It’s listed on the front page but it’s kind of hidden. I should use a blink tag :)

    Thanks Ryan! Now I see it too. It was just confusing the way the Wiki registration works.

    Nice to see some of the AIR entries are now in the library. Keep up the good work Ryan!

    I appear to be subscribed to this incomprehensible (to me) discussion. I presume it’s a hangover from my previously subscribing to the blog about the user forums — a blog that appears to have gone the way of the dodo.

    I see no way on this page to unsubscribe. I hope you can unsubscribe me (or provide instructions on how I should do it).

    Thanks,

    Dave
