Massachusetts Transportation Developers Conference and Developers Challenge (win a free CharlieCard for a year!)

[Josh]

Hey Everyone.

EOT is excited to officially announce the Developers Conference and
Developers Challenge:

MassDOT Developers Conference
MassDOT will be hosting a Developers Conference, free and open to the
public, at the Tang Center at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology on November 14th, 2009. For Full conference details please
click here: http://bit.ly/2vxvA0.

MassDOT Developers Challenge
EOT is also happy to announce the 2009 MassDOT Developers Challenge.
The Challenge inspires developers to create both applications and data
visualizations, to submit them to MassDOT, and to release them to the
public. The two top submissions will receive a CharlieCard valid for
one-year of free travel on the MBTA, in addition to recognition at the
MassDOT Developers Conference.

Visualization Challenge: The Visualization Challenge calls on
developers to use data release through the MassDOT Developers site to
show "A day in the life of the MBTA." The data released includes all
CharlieCard "taps" on average weekdays in the summer and fall. For the
full data, please click here: http://bit.ly/xrt8q
.
Application Challenge: The Application Challenge calls on developers
to create applications for release to the public that will make the
MBTA easier for customers to navigate. Applications will be judged on
the quality of design, usability, and convenience.

The first-place winners in each category will each receive a
CharlieCard valid for one year of travel on the MBTA's rapid-transit
and bus system.

Lastly, please spread the word about the conference and the challenge!

Thank.
Josh
