You were greatly missed at the conference, Dan! And as Karma King, it’s great to hear you’re on board with the reset.
+1 from me on the reset, and saving historical info. -Holly From: Open-ils-general [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Scott Sent: Monday, May 18, 2015 12:56 PM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Resetting karma in IRC +1; also please store a copy of the sqlite database somewhere (working/random.git?) in case some day we want to look back at how karma ebbs and flows over the years (after returning from a weekend vacation with no internet access. None! No cold sweats even.)

From what I understand, this is something that is done in the code4lib community and allows everyone to start with a clean slate each year after the conference. I like this idea because I think it provides it's a better motivator for new contributors to the community. As it is now, if somebody is just starting out and is making a lot of contributions that result in positive karma, it will take years before they catch up to the karma levels of those of us who have been around for a while. By resetting the karma points, anyone's given karma level will reflect the work they are doing now, not the work they did years ago. I would like to suggest that we reset the karma points in the #evergreen channel by the end of next week (to give adequate time for any dissension). For future conferences, I would like to suggest that the karma points are reset on the Monday after the conference ends. Let me know what you think!
