25 lines of code can = $250!
Enterprise mashups let you expand your skillset with a new, cool technology while innovating to benefit your organization. But wouldn't it be sweet if you could make some cash while mashing too?
The 'Share Your Mashup Macro' Contest is the answer. You use the new Presto 2.7 Developer Edition to create a mashup macro that works in Presto Wires, submit it to us, and all the working mashup macro contributors get $25. And once a month we'll pick the 'Master Mashup Macro of the Month'; that mashup macro contributor gets a $250 Amazon gift card. The contest has already begun! Submissions can be made all summer.
Details are below. Good luck!

The Awards
All non-trivial, working macros earn a $25 Amazon gift card. And once a month, we'll pick the 'Master Mashup Macro of the Month'; that mashup macro creator gets a $250 Amazon gift card. Oh, and you'll get a few minutes of fame too 'cause we might even include your macro in the next edition of Presto.
The Rules
All non-trivial, working macros earn a $25 Amazon gift card. Here's a few tips if you want a shot at the $250 'Master Mashup Macro of the Month' prize:

- Your macro must be developed with Presto Developer Edition 2.7.

Submit your macro to communitymanagers@jackbe.com and label it 'My Mashup Macro Contest Entry'. Make sure you give us:
- Your name (and company, if you want).
- A summary of the in-and-outs of your macro. A single paragraph will do.
- A reliable way to contact you (duh!).
- Your Mashup Macro code.
Please don't submit any Mashup Macros that show proprietary, sensitive or embarrassing data! And, yes, you can submit more than one.
