Subject: Winners of Software Design Competition to Speak at O'Reilly Open Source Conference

O'Reilly is pleased to announce that the winners from each category of
the Software Carpentry Design Competition have been invited to present
their work at the 2nd Annual O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention
in Monterey, CA, July 17-20, 2000.

Software Carpentry's first Open Source design competition offers
$100,000 in prizes. Students and professionals from any country,
working individually or in teams are eligible. The competition's aim is
to encourage adoption of better software development practices by
making software tools easier to use, and by documenting design,
testing, and related activities.

The deadline for first-round entries is March 31, 2000.  For more
