<p>Congrats to all!</p>
<p>Looking at the winners list, I see a lot of interesting new tools (and the learning thing sounds quite neat), but a distinct lack of games. This is something I feel compelled to rectify!</p>
<p>I was seriously bummed that I couldn't participate this year due to prior engagements that weekend. Last year was a total blast.</p>
<p>Next year! It's game time!</p>

Greetings everyone</p>
<p>After long weeks of deliberation, judges of Spawnfest 2012 have
come up with a list of winners and prizes! We encourage you to
visit the list at <a href="http://spawnfest.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc0d6a18030d7c143f0059d8a&id=72fcd6ac91&e=d7b27d993c" target="_blank">http://spawnfest.com/winners/</a>.
The winners have been announced for a while now, but I've been
somewhat too busy/lazy to come bring the good news to
erlang-questions.<br>
</p>
<p>I (and the rest of the organizing committee) would like to
congratulate first and foremost, Daniel Luna, lone member of team
ChaosMonkey, who won the grand prize for this year. He earns
himself $500 of O'Reilly books, a GitHub Silver Plan for a year, a
Raspberry Pi Cloudant BigCouch Cluster, and a VMware hoodie. Many
great songs shall be written in his honor.</p>
<p>Similarly to last year, Spawnfest also received so many generous
prizes from sponsors we had no choice but to distribute them to
many teams. Other teams were given different prizes including, an
iPad from Basho, a ton of VMware hoodies, Github bronze plans,
Heroku vouchers, a case of wine straight from Argentina via Inaka
Networks, Erlang Solutions Ltd. training courses and tickets to
Erlang factories, backpacks, and free months of hosting at
GreenQloud. Congratulations to all teams that managed to get some
of these!</p>
<p>We'd like to thank all participants in this year's Spawnfest.
Much fun was had by everyone involved over IRC, Twitter, and <a href="http://spawnfest.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dc0d6a18030d7c143f0059d8a&id=38fd6135b5&e=d7b27d993c" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.
We'd also like to thank the judges, who took time to try, read,
and judge each of the projects submitted, trying to coordinate
over continents to let us know who would win.</p>
<p>Finally, we'd like to thank our sponsors, who help make this
contest what it is through prizes, but also through support during
the event itself. Notable mentions going to GitHub giving us all
free private repositories for the duration of the contest, and
GreenQloud for the VPSes made available to all teams that needed
one.</p>
We hope we're going to be able to have a third edition of Spawnfest
in 2013, and that people from the Erlang community will once again
embrace it the way they did in 2011 and this year.<br>
<p>And finally, thanks to the sponsors who make this contest
possible, through services such as repositories, VPSes,
advertisement, and prize giving to name a few:</p>
