Apatar Data Mashup Contest

More news from OSCON: Apatar has launched a Data Mashup contest at the show to promote wider use of its open-source data integration tool. Apatar lets you visually map a data-integration path between databases, web services, and local static files, which you then save as an Apatar DataMap. You can migrate data between a number of databases (Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL) and online data feeds (including Amazon S3, Flickr, and Salesforce.com), and well as CSV or plain text files. Several DataMaps created by Apatar users are available for free on Apatar's community site, apatarforge.com
Entrants in the Data Mashup Contest will submit their Datamap, and two winners will be selected. The Best Business DataMap will win an 80-GB video iPod; and the Most Innovative DataMap Concept will win a 2-GB iPod Nano. The contest is open to everyone, not just OSCON attendees, and the deadline for entries is Friday, August 31, 2007.
