Lotusphere Recap: The Blogger Open

Categories: LS11

For the third year following the Lotusphere Closing General Session a group of people headed over to the Fantasia Garden Mini Golf Course for the “Blogger Open”.  This year we had 60 golfers out on the course, and it would appear that Disney is willing to have us back again next year again.

Big thanks to the event sponsors

Special thanks to GSX for providing the grand prize, and to  Research in Motion, the London Developer Co-op, HADSL, and the IdoNotes Podcast for providing additional prizes.  Congratulations to  Mike McGarel for his excellent performance in Lotusphere Idol, and for once again taking on the challenge of designing and building the Blogger Open website (done in XPages of course).   Also thanks to Joe Hoetzl for the blogger open graphics.

Congratulations to all the winners (and losers since they got prizes to) and thanks to everyone who showed up to play and have a good time.

Thanks to Warren Elsmore for taking some pictures and letting me use his camera to take others.

If not before see you all again next year in Orlando, and put the 4th annual Blogger Open on your calendar for January 19, 2012.

    Thanks Mitch and ALL the sponsors for putting so much time and effort into putting this event together. It’s always a GREAT time and perfect way to end the week. Just one of those things I think that sets this community apart from others.

    Typical…the bloggers and the community do all the work and then ISSL come in and steal the show 😉
