Packt Publishing Open Source CMS Award 2006

I caught the heads up from typographi, which looks to be a decent resource on all things type themselves.
I’ll be in London, cruising through Camden that time of August, but if there are any takers, we’d love to hear about it.

As i said: ‘We’ will win! :) Nevertheless the 120 min match made me grow 5 years older… Germany was in fact not playing that well as Argentina did. It took 80 minutes for the germans to score their first goal equalising Argentina´s lead. The next 40 min were just thrilling for millions of sweating soccer fans who joined the public viewing areas in Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne and so on.
Argentina never ever lost a World Cup penalty shoot-out so it was to assume they would kick Germany out. Goal keeper Lehmann (‘Mad Jens’ as they call him in the UK) stepped up

The os42 Collective
by James Burton | Vote
On and off the TXP community could need some money for events like the last template contest or to reward a programmer. So TXP Mag set up a Spreadshirt Shop (Attention: this is right now only a dummy Spreadshirtshop for European customers though the US Shop will look the same). First of all it is fun, second we hope to collect a couple of Dollars/Euros for the community.
To get some nice shirt designs together, TXP Mag announces a Shirt Design Contest.
The winners will receive a free t-shirt which can be chosen from the shop.
Get comprehensive information on the contest on the forum.
Submission deadline is April 30, 2006.
