I have been invited to participate in the inaugural Gestalt IT Field Tech Day to be held shortly.

And one of you gets to win a prize just for knowing a few things.

The info:

First, our first Tech Field Day event is right around the corner! To get warmed up, we are holding a contest and all are welcome to join in! Over the next few days, we will be posting a series of articles with an online quiz relating to each company. Fill out the quiz and you will be entered into a drawing for some cool prizes!

This contest is open to all of the attendees, their readers, and just about anyone else not directly employed or contracted by the event sponsors. This includes Gestalt IT authors (since everyone is a volunteer and is not paid) except for me (Stephen) since I'm doing the picking.

Our quiz is simple: We would like to know how familiar everyone is with these companies. We have a short series of questions from “How familiar are you with Company X?” to “What products does Company Y offer?” We will also be adding a few fun ones in, including “How do you pronounce Xsigo?” Don’t worry about getting the questions right or wrong, just answer honestly based on what you already know.

The contest is simple, too. For each entry (up to a maximum of seven, one per quiz), you will be entered in a random drawing to be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. One winner will receive a prize package including an awesome new Apple iPod Nano with video!

I just posted an article about the contest (in fact, much of this text was ripped from there) on gestalt it:

Join in, and grab that iPod in for the (AbsolutelyWindows) team, since we have DQ’d ourselves from entering the contest.
