The concept is simple: Developers choose a charitable organization that they would like to help, understand the business challenges that it faces, and propose a solution based on the Microsoft Office 2007 System that addresses one or more of those challenges. The solutions that make the most impact on the organization and that best utilize the Office system technologies can win up to $50,000 USD to help pilot or implement the solution. We think this combination of education and doing something positive for the world is an exciting approach. The contest is not open to Microsoft employees or contingent staff - but, to everyone and every org worldwide. If you know of a charitable org that you'd like to help contribute to, this is a unique opportunity to make that impact. Or, if you know someone who will want to, please pass on this message.
