Blog > Hackfest 2007 winners announced
Posted: over 5 years ago, by Martin
It has been a fantastic, fast paced 24 days for the 263 contestants who took part.
During this time some 462 tickets, and 527 patches and 3169 tickets have been submitted. An achievement all should be proud of.
Congratulations go to the top 20 contributors who will be getting their RailsConf registration paid for and
staying in style at the Jupiter Hotel courtesy of CD Baby.
Thanks again to everybody who took part and followed the contest. Your participation and support has been much appreciated.
For the rest of us who didn’t make the top 20, the registration for RailsConf will be opening this week. So keep your eyes on the Rails Weblog and the official conference site. Hope to see you there!
