Oggi è stato annunciato il vincitore del primo “grande premio” del “gioco” CloudCredibility. Questo l’annuncio presente tra i messaggi del sito CloudCred:

After a wonderful 5 months in action, the CloudCred Grand Prize winner has been chosen!
Congratulations to user AndreTheGiant for winning the Grand Prize!

Non serve spiegare cosa sia CloudCred, in fondo la gamification non è certo una novità, diciamo che pur essendo partito in sordina e con qualche perplessità, si è rivelato anche utile e positivo (anche se secondo me 5 mesi per un premio rimangono decisamente troppi). Rimane comunque la soddisfazione per la posizione (sia quella individuale che quella di tutto il team VMUGIT) e del premio ottenuto!

Grazie comunque a tutto il team di CloudCred per questa opportunità e per aver (nella seconda parte del gioco) applicato un audit affinché fosse anche onesto.
