Hello!
Just a short remainder about our floor-ball deal with Mr. Goodliving coming to an end with the last chance to participate on Thursday 4.6 (that’s tomorrow, folks). We’d like to thank Mr. Goodliving for their generous offer during the past spring and hope that you liked it too! There might be chance to return with a similar deal after the summer, so if you (or your company) is interested in sharing your activities with the other fellow developers, just hook us up next Tuesday in the season ending meeting or write an email!
Hello everyone, it’s time for yet another feature highlight!
