Microsoft wants developers to contribute their enhancements to OneNote (a note taking software from Microsoft) and win prizes.
Microsoft says:
It’s your opportunity to influence the future of OneNote. It’s your
chance to wow a global audience. And it’s your shot at winning one of five
Toshiba Portégé M200 Tablet PCs.

Open Innovation is a model where everyone wins. Open source software
