Ahh, finally back home. WWDC was quite a vacation, but now it's time to get back to work... on My Dream App of course.

I know the last teaser was relatively void of details, so consider this post Teaser 2, the Hollywood style sequel with less plot and more big name stars!

So first off, I know I said I was on vacation, but that's not entirely true. I did spend a good part of the break meeting up with people, discussing My Dream App, and inviting several of them to join the project as guest judges. (Gasp, judges?!) Below is a photo from a particularly awesome lunch that yielded three new guest judges for the event: Dave Watanabe (NewsFire and Acquisition), Allan Odgaard (Textmate and recent ADA winner), and Nick Jitkoff (Quicksilver). They'll be joining the much-talked about Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster, and soon hopefully some other developers judging in that particular week.

But that's not all, there's more! More guest judges I mean. Some other people who recently joined as well for guest judging for other weeks: lead TUAW blogger Scott McNulty, the Simonesque critic John Siracusa of Ars Technica's FatBits, Jim Dalrymple of Macworld, and the recently Business Week'd Kevin Rose of Digg. Then there's UI design guest judge week, with Adam Betts, Dave Lanham, Jasper Hauser, Piotr Gajos and Gedeon Maheux currently on board.

Developers? Bloggers? Tech media members? UI designers? Judging?! What is this??

Well, it wouldn't be a teaser without leaving some things for the imagination. But I'll leave you guys with this. I really, really believe this is going to revolutionize software development. Now, normally me just saying this alone would probably get tagged as crazy talk, but a lot of the people I mentioned share that belief, which is why quite a few of them joined the project on the spot. We're going to be lowering barriers and making things more transparent than ever, and it's going to result in some kickass software.

Oh, and I guess since it's obvious it's some sort of a competition, I might as well mention what we're trying to get together as prizes. Macbooks and iPods will be a small part of the prize packages. So dust off your thinking caps and start thinking killer app ideas!

Well, this one's been stewing for a while, and it's nearly ready for mass consumption. But not quite yet. There's a bunch of cool people involved, and I'm hoping to see a lot of you guys involved as well once it starts rolling. Let's see if you guys can guess what I've been up to! More as it develops, back to packing for WWDC!
