OpenOffice.org Design Contest

lisah writes, "OpenOffice.org, along with co-sponsor WorldLabel.com, will give away more then $5,000 in cash and prizes to the winners of a template and clip-art design contest scheduled to run until October 13, 2006. Organizers are looking for original designs that are useful to multiple users but, in terms of creativity, they say the sky's the limit. Submissions can range from budgeting spreadsheets and personal finance templates to funky graphics and presentation templates, but must run on one of the suite's four main applications: Writer, Calc, Draw, or Impress."

One technology that I've actually seen bridging that gap, is Rails.

I thought Rails was just hype until I saw creative types, people who would normally hire programmers or whoever, taking ideas from start to finish on their own.

Noooooo! Don't cross the streams!

I can just see it no

I'm not sure stuff like the TMRC qualifies as artistry. I guess it's a matter of perspective though...

it's ""it's" (it is) - not "its"" - not "it's "it's" - not "its" (it is)"

Shark Art

[farker haiku]

Great, now there's going to be 5k clip art images of sharks with laser beams on their heads and snakes on a plane. Here's to you, Mr. Open Office submitter dude.

Slashfilters

[duerra]

Slashfilters can lick my nuts.  Who are they to call 'my' computer-generated works of art "junk characters"!  But, I suppose it is no use complaining right here.  I'll show them junk characters!
