New home page coming up - Take part in it NOW

As part of an ongoing strategy to practice what we preach we are using a crowdsourcing strategy to enliven some of our website efforts. To kick off the opening campaign in this new strategy, we are running a front-end, or graphical user interface, competition on a new look and feel for our home page. Though we like our current home page.......













it is not representative of the ground-breaking, fast-moving strategy that we have, so that is why we are all about Change.

We have chosen TopCoder's Studio division to run the first competition and it is live as I type.


















This is as much a test for us as it is a bona fide effort to re-charge our home. 12 registrants and counting already for the competition and the deadline is Wednesday, Dec. 17th at 1745 EST (-5UTC). This is a mini-tournament, so the top five winners of this first round will lead the way toward defining the way forward in the second and final round. Anyone who is registered in the first round can work on the 5 winning ideations in the second and become a winner.

We will announce the first round top 5 on Friday, Dec 19th. Stay tuned. Go to TopCoder in the meantime and check it out. WE especially encourage graphic whizzes from our community to give it a crack. After all, you have an advantage perhaps over a total newcomer.....you already live the vibe of LM!!
