Before the keynotes at MIX08, we’ll be showing Flotzam
on the big screen: a mash-up built using WPF and Expression Blend that creatively
shows MIX08 feeds from Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Digg, blogs and more. Flotzam
will also be featured as the screen saver on the communications network at the conference.
We’d like to highlight the community talent by featuring the best Flotzam skins.
submit your entry to the contest and your work could appear
either on the big screen or as the screen saver on the communications network for
everyone at the conference to see. As well, the designer of the best skin will win
an XBOX 360.
To get started, download the Flotzam project. Be sure to read the instructions on
how to restyle Flotzam and watch a screencast on templating Flotzam and a screencast
on animating Flotzam.
