As some of you may have noticed, there are a lot of big changes happening in SlimServer 7.0 lately -- new user interface, support for Pandora and Rhapsody, rewritten plugins, and a host of other nifty features. Its probably the biggest set of changes since 6.0 appeared over 2 years ago.
Were ready to call it beta quality. The code is in reasonable shape. I download the nightlies daily, and I like it a lot. But before we release it, we wanted to make sure it was tested by the community. But why just make a beta announcement on the forums? Why not involve the community in a fun contest and prizes? I am therefore announcing the Logitech® SlimServer 7.0 Findem Contest! The contest period starts Friday, September 28, 2007 and ends Sunday, October 28, 2007. Prizes You could win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize for finding the most bugs or the best bugs. Most Bugs: 1st prize: Transporter 2nd prize: Slim Devices Squeezebox 3, black, quantity 3 3rd prize: Slim Devices Squeezebox 3, black, quantity 2 Best Bug: 1st prize: Slim Devices Squeezebox 3, black, quantity 3 2nd prize: Slim Devices Squeezebox 3, black, quantity 2 3rd prize: Slim Devices Squeezebox 3, black, quantity 1 If you already have enough Squeezeboxes or Transporters, you may substitute any prize above with any other available Logitech products (in equivalent retail US dollars). Entering the Findem Contest You participate in the Findem Contest by entering SlimServer 7.0 bug reports into the Bugzilla database. The bug must be in a nightly SlimServer 7.0 build created during the contest period. Any bug qualifying for the contest must be entered into the Slim Devices bug database at http://bugs.slimdevices.com using your existing or new Bugzilla account with a valid e-mail address. All bugs entered must have Product: SlimServer and Version: 7.0a1, with each submission classifiable by Chris Owens, QA Manager as NEW or ASSIGNED. Each bug report must contain only one bug, but you can enter multiple bug reports. Best Bug Found The best bugs will be chosen by Dean Blackketter, Director of Engineering, and Chris Owens, QA Manager. Judging will depend upon difficulty in finding the bug, bug severity, age of bug, complexity of configuration, and whether the bug report includes source code to fix the bug. Most Bugs Found The most bugs found will be determined by counting the most valid SlimServer 7.0 bugs entered during the contest by a single Bugzilla account. If you include source code that fixes the bug in the bug report, then that bug report counts as two bug reports but only if Dean Blackketter, Director of Engineering, judges the fix to be appropriate. If there is more than one entry for the same bug, only the bug entry with the earliest time stamp will be counted. Would Like Everybody in the World to Participate, But .... Various countries and provinces around the world have strict regulations on games and contests. For our Findem Contest, eligibility is limited to participants who are 18 years of age or older and reside in one of these countries: - United States - Canada (excluding the Province of Québec) - United Kingdom - Switzerland - And most of the European Union (see Official Rules for more details) The Official Rules Read the Official Rules to the Findem Contest here: http://www.slimdevices.com/ss7contest.php Happy hunting!
