Let us send you a kangaroo! (seriously!)

[Ben Alex]

Here in the Sydney office of SpringSource we have twenty little marsupials itching to hop across the planet and into your arms. Of course they're enjoying our spectacular 25°C climate and are reluctant to join the cargo bay of a transcontinental jet, but they know you'll take good care of them...:

Accompanying each kangaroo will not only be all the necessary import documentation (well, a customs declaration form!) but also a little thank you card from the Roo team, signed by Rod, Stefan, Alan and I. You'll be the envy of all your geeky friends, although your non-geeky friends might wonder what someone of your age is doing with a kangaroo!

Of course we know that these cute little free kangaroos will disappear within nanoseconds of hitting submit, so to make it more interesting we'll be awarding a kangaroo to the first twenty people who share Roo with the world via a conference or user group presentation. Just email me details of where you showed Roo (plus your postal address) and we'll arrange for your kangaroo kit to be dispatched.

Don't forget there are only twenty kangaroos. So don't miss out by leaving it too long!

We hope you enjoy this little gift from us here at Roo HQ. We're sure you'll enjoy playing with these little ones as much as you've enjoyed playing with the computer version!

Cheers

We are in active working with Roo on a Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) public organism.

By other hand, we are writting spanish documentation of Roo and finally will make a user group presentation.

¿ One kangaroo for Spain is possible ? We love Roo

Hi Ben:
We have been evaluating ROO very closely. I run a startup based out of Bangalore and I have already given 2 internal presentations on Roo to our developer team.
At the moment we are using Roo to build one of our future offerings which we are planning to showcase to our clients via SaaS model. This is work in progress for us . . .

I have used my own notes and PPTs given by you to me via email earlier for conducting these programs.

Just to add - we are also waiting very eagerly for Roo and Flex integration release . . .

Hope this is enough to get my hands at Roo

I am guessing being the instructor of a SpringSource public Core Spring class and spending 15 minutes showing the students Roo during the section of slides that is reserved for the Marketing slides doesn't count?

Sorry, SpringSource folks aren't eligible for kangaroos. But just remind me next time I see you and I will buy you a couple of beers instead. :-)

Hi, Ben.

Last friday, I made a presentation (as speaker!!) of Roo in the first Spanish Spring2GX event.

Maybe one kangaroo could be for me?

I realize the roo's may be gone.

I gave an internal presentaion at work. Cincinnati Ohio could use a roo.

Thanks for all your efforts,
Mike

I received an email from Robert Glover Jr this morning with some cute photos of one of the Roos playing with her new iPad:







By the way, we only have three little ones left (indeed probably only two given I'll give one away for the best slogan)! So don't delay if you'd like one! :-)

Cheers
Ben
