A huge thanks to all of the companies who donated software for us to give away, and made very generous discounts available for our members.

If you haven't won anything, please remember you still have until September 30th to take advantage of use the discounts for these and the other programs offered in August.  The discounts are listed here (on the specials page) and supporting members can access them directly here (in the members only discount code section).

All winners are now being notified by email to their forum email address.  If you haven't received an email but your name is listed above, check spam filters and forum email address, and then mail prizes@donationcoder.com and let us know you never got any mail.  It can take a few days for companies to send you your serial number; if a few days pass and you haven't received it - send a reminder to the company email as noted in your winning notification email, or to us by replying to the email you received or to prizes@donationcoder.com


An extra special thanks is due to Ampa who handled virtually everything related to the discounts and donated software and drawing this month.  It's a hell of a lot more work than you might think.

Curious about how we award prizes?  See http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1684.0 for a discussion about our custom prize optimizer utility. Winning something one month reduces your chances of winning the next month, and being helpful on the forum slightly increases your chances.

I want to thank mouser and ampa for their efforts in offering such a large number of software to giveaway. I appreciate the providers as well for their generosity and willingness to offer their products for free. You guys made my day

I also want to say that The Bat! people were really on the ball in terms of sending the serial. Big

[mitzevo]

Congrats to this months winners! 

[brett]

Embarrassingly, I thought I had to draw a picture or something to enter the 'Drawing' contest.
As my artistic skills leave a lot to be desired, I was relieved to find it was not that kind of 'drawing'

Now I have walked off with a prize, I feel even more shamed. 

Many thanks to not only Mouser and Ampa, but to all that make this community enjoyable.

hahahahaah - i wonder if others have made the same confusion.. perhaps we need to stop calling it a "drawing"

[mteal]

Wow! Thank you so much for the great prize.

Thanks to everyone, especially Mouser and Ampa, for all the hard work to make this a real community

[f0dder]

I got a cody figurine!

* f0dder does the happy dance

allen: Dina for the code

[mouser]

ps. if you won a program that you end up loving please consider writing a little "minireview" on it.

[insert_nick]

Yes yes yes! Very nice, what a lovely unexpected surprise! Usually I don't expect to win something when the luck has a big role

PS: For the future, I suggest to add a link to the corresponding announcement post in the forum (this one) when sending the mail to each winner, because I wanted to show my appreciation for the gift but didn't know there was an announcement on the forum, so I've searched a bit and finally found this post.

So: thanks a lot!

[thomthowolf]

I won something!! That is just so cool.  This is the best site ever, and not just 'cause I won. 

[mouser]

PS: For the future, I suggest to add a link to the corresponding announcement post in the forum (this one) when sending the mail to each winner

very good idea, i wish i had done that before and will do in the future from now on.

[superboyac]

Thanks again, mouser and DC.  You have been much too kind in the past few months.
