Planet of the Apps - London - Off-topic

Hey!
I work for a conference company and I have a few complimentary passes for developers to come and meet the brands at our Planet of the Apps conference.
It's 4 - 7 October in London, if anyone is interested pm me, if not I've hit the wrong forum! Any ideas where I can gather large amounts of developers together in a herd and shuffle them into our conference room ?
As I said PM me if your interested!
Thanks

XDA Fantasy Football 08!!

Hello Everyone!
I've taken the liberty of creating a Fantasy Football (NFL) league for XDA this year since I have not seen one at all and I thought what the heck, why not make one.
The league is with Yahoo! and it is a custom league. If you join you can see all the rule (points, playoff dates etc.) It is all very fair and the rules make for a great league and a lot of fun too.
The Live Online Draft is August 4th 2008 at 9:00 PM EST. I know the people on this site are all over the world, so If you really to join but the time is a bad time, let me know and I can talk to other people in the league to work out a better time.
If you would like to join, click the link below. If you have any questions PM me or send me an e-mail [email protected].
The MAX players is 16 so HURRY UP. KICKOFF FOR THE NFL SEASON IS SEP. 4th!!!

Richard Branson lookalike competition - Your vote is needed!

Long time downloader, first time poster, I hope nobody minds me diving in with a sizable request.
My girlfriends dad, Keith, has made it to the final five contestants on Virgin Atlantic's Sir Richard Branson Lookalike Competition, and I'd like for you all to have the chance to place your vote.
We've started falling behind on the votes and after all the effort we've put in (radio coverage, papers, etc) we'd be gutted if he didn't win, as the prize is a trip to New York, attending the Virgin 25 Year Anniversary dinner, and Keith has promised to give up smoking, too.
While this competition is taking place on Facebook, I implore those without accounts to sign up and participate. Details on how to vote can be found on this handy page:
http://www.shiftrunstop.com/skels/bransonalike/
While you can obviously vote for anyone you like, we hope you'll see the resemblance as much as we do, and vote for Keith.
If you do place your vote for Keith, please say so below and I'll be sure to get Keith to thank you personally on Facebook. If you can spread the word a little, that would also be fantastic.
Also, if anyone has an look-a-likes in their family, feel free to post them so we can have our own little vote for the best one.

Don't Buy The Sun: Stephen Smith - Liar, Liar. Download 0.79p

Hi All
I very rarely post much on these forums but am hoping for anyone reading this if you can help a little in the following:
As some may know the Hillsborough Anniversary is again fast approaching, on April 15th 1989 96 Liverpool Fans tragically lost their lives that day and after a long & frustrating 22 years the families of those lost are still fighting for the justice that they and the 96 lost deserve, for more information regarding this please follow this link: Welcome to The Hillsborough Justice Campaign
Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on Liverpool fans and their supposed atrocious behavior, of course all those were sick, vile lies and since that day, Liverpool fans & Liverpudlians including the Everton fanbase have seeked to Boycott that vile newspaper whom still have yet to make any form of sincere apology.
If I can ask for one simple favour; Stephen Smith is a very talented music artist who recently released his album 'Next Train to Nowhere' on the album contains the song 'Liar, Liar' of which he has just released Monday gone (April 4th) in attempt to get it into the charts for the week leading upto the Hillsborough Disaster & there's also been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.
We ask that for just a paltry sum of 0.79p to download the song of which as mentioned above can really help bring awareness of the tragedy and what befalled it to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.
Not only will you be massively helping families who are still grieving to this day as they still have yet to receive the closure their loved ones deserved but the song in itself is worth purchasing alone written & performed by an exepetionally talented musician.
All proceeds from Liar Liar will be donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hope for Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
Here are the download links:

Here's the music video:

Get 'Liar Liar' into the charts for April 10th

Apologies also for such a long winded post, thank you for taking the time read this.

PS: It is sadly currently languishing at 266 in the top300, we need one almighty push up the charts, if you do have the time please Tweet & Facebook this to anyone you know, thanks again for taking the time to read this.
bought.
JFT96!
RIP.
On that sad day, my grandfather, auntie, two uncles and my uncles friend went to watch their team play a game. Only four returned home again.
The events of that day are widely reported and I've never heard them speak of their ordeal.
One of my earliest memories of my uncle was him on crutches for so long afterwards.
You'll never walk alone.

Help A Young Guy Win A DJ Competition

A family friend, at the tender age of 18, has been DJ'ing in small bars and clubs for the past couple of years desperate for his big break. He has received an opportunity to play at a big festival early next year alongside many big names. However, to be in with a chance of playing there, he needs to win a competition to receive the most Facebook 'Likes' on his page.
So, I apologise for the plug but could I ask as many of you, and your friends to spare a couple of seconds to 'Like' his page. He's a great guy with a huge talent and would highly appreciate every one of your votes.
Many thanks in advance guys .

Movember

Hi guys it the month of November or as some as you may know it as Movember.
Men’s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.
I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Movember's Program Overview page.
To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK
• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years
If you’d like to help change these statistics, please donate to me online at: http://mobro.co/jonathanfoster
For more details, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://uk.movember.com/about/funding-overview
Thanks in advance guys or at least for reading
You need a donation to help your moustache grow?
I think I might do no shave November too. There won't be much hair on my face though.

Then we can just donate directly to the charities that support prostate and testicular cancer and other men's health issues.

Yes you can and by donating via the link i have placed in the initial post this is what is done. It just registers as a sponsor ship to me.
Will make donation as long as you promise to post picture of end result!
