"One part geek Olympics, one part community service project and one part race-against-the-clock—Sierra Bravo’s F1 Overnight Website Challenge will partner deserving Minnesota non-profits with teams of talented web developers for 24 hours of fun collaboration culminating in a fully operational website for each participating non-profit."

Two reasons why this is an awesome idea:
1. A short-timespan codeathon means you can donate your time without worrying about a gratis project blowing way out of scope. Anything that doesn't contribute to the goal needs to be efficiently nipped in the bud.
2. It supports the concept that a defined programming effort and a small team can actually accomplish a huge amount of work in a small amount of time.

This looks really cool: an open platform for creating massively multiplayer virtual worlds. Objects in the games you make--like characters, buildings, flowers, whatever--have the ability to talk talk and post to the web, so they could export rss feeds, or pull in links from delicious, and that sort of thing.

I've signed up for an alpha account but haven't heard word yet. I'm interested in seeing how you develop for the platform and how open it really is.

libmapi was recently released, which allows software developers to create and receive tasks, email, calendar entries, and contacts from an Exchange server.

This ought to be really useful for developers who want to interoperate with Exchange from other platforms and external mail systems. I'm sureI'm not the only one who wouldn't mind having a way to pull contact data between applications.
