The sixth PalmHack programming contest is hereby announced, to take place at the
2004 PalmSource Developer Conference. Entries need not be HackMaster Hacks, and
will be judged on the basis of frivolity, originality, and hackishness. Prizes
include a TapWave Zodiac, and hardware and software from LandWare.

As is traditional, there are no actual rules, although hitting judges with
chairs is unlikely to be rewarded. There may, however, be major bonus points for
entries which:

Run native under Palm OS 6 on the ARM® boards in the Lab.
Were written entirely during the Developer Conference.
Entertain the night-time Lab staff.

Entries which are actually useful are not officially prohibited, but suggest a
lack of understanding of the spirit of PalmHack, and are subject to deduction of
points.

Entries should be demonstrated and beamed to one of the judges in the Lab by
10:30 PM on Wednesday, February 11th:

Kenneth Albanowski
Jesse Donaldson
Steve Lemke
Ezekiel Sanborn de Asis
Flash Sheridan

Awards will be announced on Thursday, February 12th at 4 PM, during Michael
Mace's keynote address on "The Future of Mobile Computing," and also at
http://pobox.com/~spug/PalmHackVI.html.
