We're excited to welcome so many interesting projects and can't wait to see our community in action tomorrow! To all the project teams, don't forget to review the [project selection criteria](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Judging+Process#JudgingProcess-ProjectSelectionCriteria) and, as [previously announced](http://blog.symphony.foundation/2016/09/21/the-symphony-software-foundation-powers-new-world-symphony/), in order to qualify for the **Best Contribution Prize**, **teams must initiate the contribution process** by filing a [CONTRIB](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/browse/CONTRIB) issue. This year's [proposed projects](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/New+World+Symphony+Area#NewWorldSymphonyArea-ProposedProjects) include: - [Automated Virtual Assistant for your Workday](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Automated+Virtual+Assistant+for+your+Workday) - [CS TAs symphony Project](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/CS+TAs+symphony+Project) - [Excel RFQ conversation over Symphony](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Excel+RFQ+conversation+over+Symphony) - [FTS Module State Manager](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/FTS+Module+State+Manager) - [Koyfin research bot](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Koyfin+research+bot) - [Machine Matching Framework & Obé](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53379084) - [Module Context Bus - Notification Bot - NexJ](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Module+Context+Bus+-+Notification+Bot+-+NexJ) - [MS Jive Integration](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/MS+Jive+Integration) - [Symphony-Vidyo Integration](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Symphony-Vidyo+Integration) - [TRP Tending Bot](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/TRP+Tending+Bot) - [Virtual assistant bot](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Virtual+assistant+bot) - [Wells Fargo Autosys Automation](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/NWS/Wells+Fargo+Autosys+Automation) I look forward to seeing many of these projects contributed to [our Github repository](http://github.com/symphonyoss/), but in any case, these will take us one step closer to a *"New World"* of work on the Symphony platform for financial services and beyond. Finally, I am also happy to announce the official judging panel**. **The panel features technology leaders from the Symphony ecosystem and from the financial services industry, including: - **Gabriele Columbro** (Executive Director of [Symphony Software Foundation](http://symphony.foundation)) - **David Gurlé** (*CEO* of [Symphony](http://symphony.com)) - **John Madsen** (*Head of Enterprise Platforms* at [Goldman Sachs](http://www.goldmansachs.com/)) - **Nigel Faulkner** (*Head of Technology* at [T.
