At VSLive ObjectSharp hosted a Limo Bus for speakers and special guests. Our special guests included the Canadian Imagine Cup winners, who just recently went to Brazil for the big competition.

Sadly they did not win, but what a ride they had. If you want to read about their travels here are their Blogs. these are also under links on by Blog page.

Dear Imagine Cup Kids,

What a wonderful accomplishment to get as far as you did. We at Objectsharp are very proud of you all. You're a great group and worked very hard to get where you did.  You will all go far in this industry, of that I'm sure.

Sounds like you are having a blast in Brazil. Now it's time to relax and have fun. You have earned it.

    Dave,

    Thanks so much for your support. I have nothing but the utmost gratitude for all the support that we have received from you guys and others. I had a really great time there and got to meet so many great people.

    About going far in the industry: any chance of an ObjectSharp Victoria office? ;)

    It is great to know we had so many people pulling for us back home. We had a great time in brazil, met some really wonderful and smart people, and we definately took some time to relax and enjoy ourselves (Paragliding is an amazing sport).

    Thank you so much, I hope our paths cross again soon.

    Dave,

    Looks like I am the last one to reply to your posting..... this was because my dog ate my laptop. Ok, I don't have a dog and my laptop is working fine - I have just been lazy about reading blogs lately.

    Thanks so much for all the support, it is very appreciated. We gave the competition all the time and effort we could, but it was evident at the worlds many of the teams were able to take existing projects and massage them into Imagine Cup entries. I think the level of polish and code maturity that extra time gave some of the teams really showed. I was disappointed with the final result, however, it has motivated me to improve and expand my skillset, which I'm sure will help with my future projects. I had a great time with the competition and enjoyed meeting everyone in Toronto and Brazil.

    As Elisa said, I hope our paths cross again soon.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Jason... There is an ObjectSharp Vancouver office. Is that close enough?
