The Breeze Meeting Sync SWF SDK enables Flash developers to build collaborative Flash applications for use in Breeze Meeting meaning that you have an entirely new channel where you can profit from your content—the rapidly growing number of Breeze customers. Using the new Breeze Exchange, you can post and charge for custom Flash applications that Breeze end users can download and use in their everyday jobs. To celebrate this exciting news we are running a contest in which four (4) $5,000USD prizes will be given away.

Overview

The Breeze Meeting Sync SWF SDK allows you to create custom Flash content and applications for use in Breeze Meeting.  Breeze Meeting users (including yourself if you have an account) can then use these applications to: include custom simulations and games in virtual classrooms, create task-based applications such as an action item tracker in collaborative team meetings, or just have fun! 

New to the Breeze Meeting Sync SWF SDK? Read this overview on the Breeze Developer Center or register to attend this Macrochat where we will be providing details about how the Sync SWF SDK works.

Prizes

A winner will be selected in each of the following categories. Each winner will receive a $5,000USD cash prize**.

• eLearning Application:  Appropriate entries for this category include applications that showcase how a customer could potentially use the Sync SWF API in a virtual classroom, and are:  (i) designed to assist remote trainers in facilitating a virtual classroom; (ii) generic tools that can be used in an educational environment; or (iii) targeted applications intended to facilitate learning on a specific topic. These applications should take into account the collaborative nature of Breeze meaning that the Sponsor shall not consider entries that are standalone eLearning applications that do not utilize collaborative functionality. 
• Web Seminar Application:  Appropriate entries for this category include applications that are: (i) designed to assist event managers in facilitating large virtual meetings; (ii) generic tools that can be used in a web seminar environment; or (iii) targeted applications that are meant to showcase how a customer could potentially use the Sync SWF API in a few-to-many web seminar scenario. These applications should take into account the collaborative nature of Breeze. 
• Team Collaboration Application:  Appropriate entries for this category include applications that are focused on increasing the productivity and effectiveness of small groups of geographically dispersed teams.  This could include applications that assist meeting hosts in conducting effective virtual meetings, generic tools that can be used in a team collaborative setting, or targeted applications that are meant to showcase how a customer could potentially use the Sync SWF API to create vertical or horizontal applications to be more efficient. 
• Ice Breaker/Gaming Application:  Appropriate entries for this category include applications that are focused on providing interactive applications that help connect geographically dispersed users.  This could include applications that help users connect virtually by mimicking a face-to-face interaction or by exploiting the medium to produce collaborative Flash software-based applications or games.

Winning entries will be posted to the Breeze Exchange and marketed to the Breeze customer base providing you with great exposure for your Flash skills and opening up the possibility for future business.

Entries must be submitted as a single .ZIP file containing the original .FLA files, the completed application files, and a README that includes a description of the application and any special instructions.
