Following a few discussions here, it seems as if we will be instigating the annual Fabris awards at the next empeg owners meet in October.

In spite of the jokey nature of the original post (see above), I am serious - so I am going to start the competition for main award of the first annual Fabris (TM) * awards, now!

This award will be for the Best 3rd Party Software (specifically written for the empeg). Heads up, all you software engineers (and hackers) out there (approximately 99% if this weekend's statistics are anything to go by ). If you have written, or are thinking about writing, that wonderful piece of software that you just know will make the empeg rock, then get started. Final submission date for your software will be one calender month before the announced event date of the October meet. Judging will be by ballot on the day by the attendees, and there will be a quality prize on offer along with a special trophy.

So get busy - you have approximately 4 months to produce something. To be eligible, at least one released version of your software must have been made publically available before the closing date of the competition, which will be announced before the event. Good luck!

* As long as Tony doesn't mind, of course
