The winner of our Template Contest was Roasters by Paul du Coudray, receiving an overwhelming 79 of 80 votes cast. Some choice comments left by voters: “Great use of snippets for navigation and rss, and Archives for article pages. Nice integration of Disqus and Google Maps.” “Elegant, good layout, excellent use of typography, color, space. In a word, excellent.” “Great, fresh look. Love the paragraphs with icons on the right. Good use of color and typography. Simple, thematic styles (hyperlinks are blue and underlined throughout)” “Roasters is a nice template. Clean, pleasing, and well-designed.” Paul will be receiving: - One Radiant T-Shirt in his size - $200 gift certificate for Threadless - Roasters featured on the Radiant demo site for a yet-undetermined period - Inclusion of Roasters in the Radiant distribution – look for it in 0.7.0! As thanks for participation, Zhen Kyle will receive a Radiant T-shirt. Congratulations to both of you! For all of you who contacted me after the deadline, please start working on your templates. We’ll have a new contest soon! Cheers, Sean ---

I printed them up in October, gave out a bunch to sprint attendees, and held onto some for the contest. I might be persuaded to sell some soon. Sean ---

Nate, All XXLs are gone (I only ordered 6 initially and we had a bunch of takers at the sprint). Rest assured we’ll make some more at some point. They aren’t great, but I just took a few pictures of my shirt: [http://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/472029/1/Radiant%20T-Shirt?h=886dba](http://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/472029/1/Radiant%20T-Shirt?h=886dba) Sean
