Last couple of weeks have been quite a hassle for me and yesterday was my day off.
The finals were held on Friday in Helsinki at Elisa‘s Head office. In case you wonder Elisa is the parent company of Kesäkoodi Gold Sponsor Saunalahti. Finals started at 13:15 – fortunately only 15 minutes late. There were seven finalists and each of us gave a 10-minute presentation. I created my presentation using beamer. Please, remember not to take it too seriously 
. After the presentations (130 minutes, you do the math) we, the applicants, were thrown out from the conference room to give the board of judges some privacy. When the decisions were ready we were called back and the winners were declared. And yes, I am a winner!
That means that I’m getting paid this summer for working at home with my FOSS project. How sweet is that! Besides the judge representing Elisa pulled me aside before I left and told me if there is something I need that Elisa has in their catalogue I just drop him an email and they will lend me the hardware. Thank you so much Elisa!! Just to show my appreciation I decided to include their logo in this posting, cheers! 
DISCLAIMER: I will not be employed by Elisa during the summer. They are mere sponsors of Kesäkoodi and have no direct influence on my work. So if other companies want to send me some cool toys, too, just keep ‘em coming
