This conversation started a few weeks ago in email and on the open
anniversary call about how to give out anniversary gifts and how we can
acknowledge and recognize all the people out there doing extraordinary
things for and with OpenSolaris. So, based on those conversations, here
is a proposal to hold our first annual OpenSolaris Contributor Awards.
The thread is continuing over on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Need +'s and -'s by Tues May 30th so that we have enough time to
nominate everyone that deserves to be nominated. Please comment on the
following proposal.
First Annual OpenSolaris Contributor Awards:
What is a contributor?
You define it. There is only one category, one requirement to be the
recipient of one of these coveted awards: that the winner has to have
done something -- anything -- to the benefit of the OpenSolaris
community. It could be postings, code, evangelism, curriculum, blogs,
etc. etc. etc.
How are we going to do this?
Anyone can make a nomination
- Send your nomination email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Tell us who you are nominating and why you feel he/she should receive
an OpenSolaris Contributor Award. Be specific.
- The first 200 people who send in nominations will receive an
anniversary gift. One gift per person, but you can nominate as many
people as you'd like. We'll collect your address and size seperately.
What do nominators get?
- #1 T-shirt (artwork has been sent to mktg list)
- OpenSolaris stickers (for sticking on stuff - artwork sent to mktg
list)
- OpenSolaris laptop sticker (the metalic or clear, small kind - artwork
sent to mktg list)
- An OpenSolaris electrostatic cling (for your car window)
- A recordable CD/DVD imprinted with OpenSolaris for you to burn your
favorite distro - artwork is located at

We can take nominations from Monday May 30 through June 12.
Who wins?
From the pool of nominations that are received, the 20 most
contributing-est contributors will be selected. Those 20 individuals
will be named OpenSolaris Contributors and will receive the same gift as
above, plus a fancy OpenSolaris embroidered polo shirt for occasions
when you need to dress up. These are an extremely limited edition, only
20 will be produced.
Who does the selecting?
I don't know yet on this one, but we will have to know by June 12 when
the nominations close.
Where will the nominees be listed?
