Minutes ago, Apple announced that it would hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC14) between June 2 and June 6 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. Ticket sales are open, and developers are being greeted with an endearing message from the mother ship.

The official WWDC site has been redecorated with a colorful banner made from tiles that shrink to create a contour of the iconic Apple logo, in what can be considered another home run from the Cupertino company’s design team.

The site welcomes future attendees with a heartening message directed at those who make apps for iOS and OS X.

“Over the past six years, a massive cultural shift has occurred. It’s changed how we interact with one another. Learn new things. Entertain ourselves. Do our work. And live our daily lives. All because of developers and the apps they create.”

“For five days, one thousand Apple engineers and five thousand developers will gather together. And life will be different as a result. Write the code. Change the world,” the company says.

Tickets to this year's conference are offered by random selection, so you won’t have to hurry to get one. Simply visit developer.apple.com/wwdc/tickets/, follow the instructions there and apply for your own. All you can do from then on is keep your fingers crossed.
