All the candidates felt they didn't deserve it so kept passing it along. This actually ended up consuming an appreciable amount of my time. This year, we look to have a stronger top 10, so that might not be as big of a problem, but for 11-25 it's looking quite a bit weaker. Perhaps we could give 5 books to a random selection of the top 10 committers, and then pick 5 people for non-coding contributions for some equivalent reward?
