Yesterday we announced a module contest sponsored by Tropo - in 24 hours write a module based on the theme of communication.
We had about 10 people submit modules which Robert Douglass, Jeff Eaton, and Morten judged in the following areas: novelty, craftsmanship, functionality, utility, and rockability.
Today we announced the winners:

This contest was a lot of fun, and I hope to see it become a tradition at future DrupalCons. I have some feedback to make the next contest even better.
