hey, guys. As you know, Sun is doing an awards program: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=47194&tstart=0
I'm involved in the program, and I wanted to ping this list specifically to see if the docs community would like to be actively involved as well. I suggested a docs category initially just as a place holder because I thought it was an important part of the community. But ultimately the desire would have to come from this CG. I'm just giving a heads up because time is tight. :) So, if you are interested in this, there are some things that have to be specified pretty quickly, including what are the needs in terms of final products from a contest, how would the submissions be judged, how many submissions would be necessary, should there be lots of small submissions or a few large ones, what should the prize values be, etc. As background, we had a discussion this morning about these issues here: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/awards-program/2007-December/000007.html Alta was on the call as well and had some great ideas. Perhaps we can have a conversation to flush some of these things out? Thanks so much, Jim -- Jim Grisanzio http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris
