Nice find Johno! Keep those HTML5 tips rolling into this thread everyone, let's share the love :)

Now that the full brief is available at http://goo.gl/DZZdj  here's an updated version of what the challenge is about:

- Create a 'Google Doodle'-style animated feature using the Google Developer Day map

- Develop your idea by Wednesday 10th August 2011, 10am AEST

- Make it bold, interactive, animated, musical, magical - the choice is yours! 

- Be sure though in your design to incorporate an Australian theme

- Map is available on site in PSD and SVG. See: http://goo.gl/PbCvJ and http://goo.gl/PejMK

- Use open technologies like HTML5, CSS3, WebGL

- Close out by hosting your content on a website. Dropbox or GitHub are good choices but if you get stuck, email me!

- Include a paragraph on the Doodle and a Creative Commons attribution license

- Finally don't forget to fill your details on the OC:GDD'11 website's form!

Cheers

Leon
