VMware Open Innovation Contest 2012

Duncan Epping · Aug 28, 2012 ·

It seems to be the week of the Innovation Team. I think it is a really smart move, not unlike the CloudPhysics contest by the way, to get your user involved in new innovations. First of all, why would you bother entering your idea? Well you can win a free pass to VMworld 2013! On top of that, and I believe that is the real price, it could be developed by the VMware team and become a fling… or maybe even a real feature, who knows!
For those who don’t know a fling is:

A fling is a short-term thing, not a serious relationship but a fun one. Likewise, VMware Flings are software tools that are offered on the VMware Flings website that are intended to be played with and explored. Though Flings might not become part of any future VMware product offering and are not supported, many VMware customers find them incredibly useful. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re free.

This contest runs from August 27th through October 31st 2012, and, yes, you’re allowed to submit multiple ideas. Although I am not eligible, I did not already enter one… and I am hoping all of you will do the same. So go register your ideas and win that free VMworld 2013 pass, but again maybe the best price is seeing your idea being developed and turn in to a fling, feature or product!

    The website claims this is an “invitation only” website.
    How can you register ?

    If you click the link you should see a login page, the second tab allows you to register.
