We picked up another awesome sponsorship this morning! One of our fellow community members Justin sent me a note last night to check out CoffeeCup Software, Inc. and see if they would be interested in helping out. I sent their head honcho an email last night and got a response back this morning that they were going to provide the following:
- 50 copies – 2007 Webmaster Jam Session DVD’s
- 50 copies – 2008 Webmaster Jam Session DVD’s
- 3 copies – Big Cup Software Bundles
Also, they are getting ready to release a new piece of software called Shopping Cart Creator, along with another application to create themes. Once they get this released he told me to remind him and he would hook us up with a couple of versions of this as well.
Things are certainly coming together!!!
Thanks for suggesting this one Justin!!!
