Announcing Winners of Free Tickets for Intro to Ruby Course

Almost a month ago we made two exciting announcements – the first was that SmartLogic will be hosting an Intro to Ruby1 course on December 10-11, 2010. The second announcement was that we would be giving away one free ticket to a local college/university student and another free ticket away to the co/founder of a local startup company.

Well, we upped the ante and have decided to give away a total of FOUR free tickets. We received a total of 40 submissions and were really encouraged by all of the enthusiastic responses. Without further ado:

1. Brian Sierakowski – @bsierakowski – Managing Editor of Baltimore’s [StartupDigest]2, founder of CahootsApp and eCommunications & Office Manager at Greater Baltimore Tech Council.
2. Paul Kauders – @pkauders – founder of SplitGear, a Baltimore-based company hoping “to make community based sharing of equipment the norm.”
3. Leela S. – a student at Towson University. Leela has “never won anything before, so this would be a real treat.” Well, there you go.
4. Eric Oestrich – @EricOestrich and oestrich on github – a student at Towson University that participated in the debut of the Baltimore Hackathon.

We’ll contact the winners shortly.

If you didn’t win: buy a ticket – or – stay tuned! More announcements to follow.
