MCC Workshops
Workshops that will highlight trends and development in the content development industry will be held regionally around Malaysia during July 2008. MCC organizers and partners will also be present for a special opportunity to network directly with the industry. Workshops are also a great opportunity to get more information and to ask questions regarding MCC concepts for submission.
By the way, the Mobile Content Challenge official website is not fully updated yet. Most of the information still dated as 2007. Currently, the updated page is http://mdp.contentchallenge.info/challenge.php where you can download the Summary/Registration Form and Rules&Regulation.
Drop me a comment if you happened to be one of the participant in this event too
Still fresh in memory, last year I was competing with the other 5 teams in the final round under Mobile Content category. It was a 50% chance to grab the RM 30,000 grant for prototype development.
All the best to ‘07 Winning Ideas: M-Travelogue, mobiADs and Mobile Stock Exchange system (MOSES).
Drop me a comment if you guys passing by

Was so excited when I heard about this challenge/competition and I thought I could back to the stage with a new idea.
But, this time MSC do not welcome Student to participate in this challenge/competition. It is a new rule:
Haiz, it breaks my heart. Not even a 0.1% chance for me to claim the grant this year.
Anyway, the deadline is around July ‘08 (actual date depends on category), still have time if you start preparing now. Good Luck ya~
Today is 20th June…Oh my god, there are only ten days left for the deadline of MCC.
To those who duno about it, MCC stands for Mobile Content Challenge….
The Mobile Content Challenge is a contest created for students of Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) in Malaysia to research and use new technologies to develop real world solutions for mobile telecommunications. This event is jointly organized by Maxis Communications Berhad, the Ministry of Energy, Water & Communications (KTAK) and the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (SKMM).
They are giving out a total of RM100,000 cash to winners. But I couldn’t understand why instituition is rewarded and share the same amount of RM30,000. All the prize should be rewarded to the team and its advisor.
Anyway, I will continue progressing…else will be watching others to enter the 2nd stage - INQB8…
Wait for me, INQB8…
p/s: just installed a plug-in called “auto-slimbox”, its function is showing pics in overlaying layer using javascript. To try it out, just click on the MCC banner. 
This is my first post in this blog.
Two days after I finished my final exam and the result will be out on 12th July…
Just hope my EC203 doesn’t score too bad
