Hello Talend Community,
Talend is using Google advertising to raise funds for its community
Did you know that with over 3000 registered members, tens of thousands of unregistered readers, and 130,000 pages viewed per month, the Talend Forum is the leading source of community information for open source data integration?
In June 2009, Talend is introducing Google advertisements on the Talend Forum. The goal of this new initiative is simple: raise funds for the Talend Community - the thousands of users of open source data integration solutions who contribute one way or another to the value of the solution. These contributions take many forms: source code, feature design, beta testing, component creation, Talend Babili translation... But ultimately, they bring value to the entire community.
100% of the funds received through this program will go toward the Talend Community Fund. Talend will not benefit from a single dollar or euro of these funds.

- For the second place: $100 Amazon gift certificate (or local currency equivalent) + 1 T-shirt,
- For the third place: $50 Amazon gift certificate (or local currency equivalent) + 1 T-shirt.
All gifts are offered to the community from the revenues generated by the advertisements on the forum.
To win these gifts, become a beta-tester and spot bugs on the new release candidates of Talend Open Studio, Talend Open Profiler and Talend MDM Community Edition. Go to this thread for more information.
