    • ]]>     ADC results are coming and so many disappointments that will follow. To be more exact, 1738 developer teams will be soon disappointed. The winners of the challenge were supposed to be announced yesterday May 5-th, but the deadline was pushed to as it seems to 7-th now. There are some mixed postings and it seems to be either one of two. Either 7-th or 14-th. We will post an update if we get more information. Anyway, stay tuned to AD blog.

    Word to the developers. You should remember that the process was rewarding too and there is ADC-II coming soon! So cheer-up, as we have so many things to anticipate!
