As usual, judge Susan Visser, IBM, did another AWESOME job blogging about today's show, our contestants, and their presentations. CLICK HERE to read Susan Visser's excellent summary! And, THANKS Susan!

The call for contestant applications closes at 11pm CST on 10 February 2012. Thank you to all of our contestants for your willingness to share your knowledge with the DB2 community.
