If you didn’t win, don’t despair: there are still places available, and if you took part in this competition (and even if you didn’t) you can buy a ticket with 75€ discount (375€ instead of the regular price of 450€), using the coupon code SIMONECHIARETTA.

Back to the giveaway: Last week I announced that, with the help of Niels Hartvig, I was giving away one free ticket for the umbraco CodeGarden 2010 and 4 nights in the hotel.

Signing up for the giveaway was easy: all you needed was to retweet a message that contained the #codegarden and the #cg10giveaway hashtags, and the url of the post http://bit.ly/CG10Giveaway. And you also needed to follow me on twitter.

During the 4 days, 84 people signed for the giveaway. If you are interested, I posted the list of the valid tweets.

But without further ado, let’s move to the winner:

Using the “official” random number generator I got the following winner (the first two didn’t accept the prize as they are not able to come):

• 41,  Scott Blomfield, aka cyberknet, from Tulsa, Oklahoma (here is his tweet)
• 26, Simon Ritchie, aka screamr, from Brisbane, Australia (his tweet here)
• 39, Michele Minorello, aka minorello, from Padova, Italy, (his tweet is here)
