In addition to a lot of great open web and open source projects this year we are offering a Jailbreak Station. It will be a place where attendees can bring their iOS device, have it jailbroken and learn the benefits and risks of having a jailbroken device.
We're looking for volunteers who are hack savy and experienced to volunteer to operate this jailbreaking station.
Benefits of Volunteering:
1. Free OVC T-Shirt
2. Free food!
3. Complimentary registration
4. A chance to network (lots of great industry folks at this event)
5. Be a part of the team and help spread the word on open source, hacking and being a more informed consumer
Supporters of this year include New York Law School, Zencoder, Mozilla and we're pleased to announce that Google has recently joined as a supporter. Many, many more commercial and non-commercial companies/orgs will be represented here too.
We need you! If you're interested please PM me Mod edit: removed email

I received an Email few days ago from a telecom operator developers community based in Saudi Arabia (developers.mobily.com.sa).
They are running a free to participate Mobile App contest with 3 cash prizes, each prize is equal to approximately 26k USD.
The good part is, according to their terms & conditions, anyone from all around the world can participate.
I thought it would be appropriate to at least this share this bit of information over XDA.
I couldn't find a suitable forum category other than the off-topic
Awards Website:
developers.mobily.com.sa/award
Just an update,
Contest Apps submission is going to open for 10 days only starting from this coming Sunday.

Beta Testing Team
Thank you for registering to assist FONU2 with our Beta Testing. In the past couple of weeks we have experienced some delays and have pushed back the start of our Beta Test. We are now working through a few remaining technical issues and are preparing to open up our testing to a wider audience.
We anticipate we will begin our Beta Test in the 2nd week of January 2014.
We will send out a few communications as that date approaches to keep you informed on our progress. When we kick-off the Beta Test phase you will receive an invitation to join the FONU2 Beta Test. At that point, you will also receive instructions on how to open an account, participate in our beta test and report bugs, issues and concerns.
Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, I wish you and your family a Happy New Year. I'm sure that 2014 will be a very prosperous year for all.

Received this today... Getting Closer
Beta Testing Team
This is a quick update to the last communication on December 30th 2013.
On January 2nd, the FONU2 internal development team began it's Alpha Test, where we exercised the core functionality of the system using our own internal staff. We encountered an expected number of defects (bugs) and we received a number of improvement suggestions which we are in the process of implementing. We expect that by the end of the week we will have 90% defects corrected and enhancements implemented. At that point we will commence with our Beta Test.
Our Beta Test will be run in phases. We will invite a limited number of Beta Testers on day 1, and we will invite additional testers every few days until we exhaust our supply of testers.
Please look for your email invitation to our Beta Test site towards the end of the week. You will be receiving a link to our Beta Test site, as well as detailed documentation on testing procedures, instructions for reporting defects, submitting enhancement ideas etc.
Please remember that the web-site is still under construction and will have an unpolished look and feel. In addition, it is expected that you will encounter a few bugs and functionality that may be working incorrectly. We are counting on your assistance to help us identify all of these defects and your improvement suggestions to make our web-site work flawlessly.
Please note that the Beta Testing site is only accessable by registered Beta Testers. If you send a link to friends, they will not be able to enter the site. If you wish to invite friends to FONU2 they must register as a Beta Tester on our web-site (https://fonu2.com/register/register.html)
Thanks

Got this today....
Dear Beta Testers
Congratulations on being selected as a Beta Tester for the 2nd Wave of Beta Testing. I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of FONU2 Management and Stakeholders.
We are proud to present the first functional areas of the application and we look forward to launching our social commerce platform as soon as it is confirmed by our team of Beta Tester.
Please review the attached document, which is an instructional document that will guide you through the Beta Test. I would recommend printing a copy and using it as a reference guide.
The document contains a list of areas within the application which will include screenshots and grids that represents the area being tested, the action which needs to be taken and the expected result of that action. As a tester of the application it’s first important to understand what the area is supposed to do and what it’s not supposed to do. Please keep in mind that we are still developing the application and there may be certain areas which have not been completed. The point of the test is review what has been built with the understanding that our Product Development team is already aware of what needs to be completed.
As you navigate through the system we ask that you pay close attention the following areas:
Usability: How does the system feel, is it performing properly, if not then we will have an area where you can place notes on how you think we should improve it.
User Interface Appearance: Is the system “Easy on the Eyes”, in other words, is it in line with what many of the popular systems of today represent, and in contrast, are there areas which you feel are innovative.
Business Logic: Please pay close attention to the business logic for the actual transactions, and as a user please provide your input on whether or not the system provides you with the workflow to complete your transaction effectively.
Please send documentation of all bugs and improvement recommendations to [email protected]
Remember:
We are still under development, and we currently have a number of known bugs that we are working on. In addition, you will notice that the site has a dull and unpolished appearance as we have been focusing on developing the core functionality. We will improving the appearance of the site dramatically over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks You and Good Luck
Roger
