I think Ascential and maybe the other ETL companies have a contest for EDW site of the year. Maybe Kimbal or Inmon or both can judge it.

I would love to see samples of things done right. Even if this was only among Ascential customers then it would still be cool. Give a trip to Europe away. I think we are all looking for better ways to do things. This would promote good ideas.

Hehe. Off topic, but it reminds me of the trip to AscentialWorld in Miami, Florida this year. I am an avid visitor of Dave & Busters, so naturally, I seeked out the local chain at Dolphins Mall. Dave & Busters promotes several tournaments, including Skee-ball World Championship. This year tournament was located at that Dave & Busters in Miami. However, their billboard advertisment still states:

"Win a trip to Miami!"

So I suspect that if a trip was given away for a contest like this, someone from Europe would naturally win.
