This information comes to us via Tony Shaw of Wilshire Conferences:

...the folks at Exeros have come up with a fun contest that ties in with the upcoming DAMA+Wilshire Conference in Boston.  You have to map two datasets within 2-hours.  The entries are judged on the number and accuracy of the mapped table columns.  They're offering cash prizes up to $2500 for the winners. 

 

First prize also includes a free ticket to the DAMA + Wilshire Conference in Boston, travel expenses included! 

 

The contest is this Saturday.  Full details are here:

If you work in the data management industry, we have e-mail, web, and newsgroup based discussion groups.  The groups, with about 1000 users, are intended for user-to-user support.  Yes, vendors can answer questions about using their tools, but sometimes you might want to know how others are using them.

You can click on the Groups tab at the top of the page to join.  If you are interested in seeing what sort of discussions are happening, you can check our our preview page  for recent posts to our groups.
