I'm spitting this idea out to those who have the money and time to actually use up on organizing this,
considering gnome-shell is relatively fresh from oven and have yet to have an existing extension community around it, it is a good time period to seed the initial community. challenge format: - participants are required to write a gnome-shell extension in <time> period - extension must serve a particular purpose (solve - or try to solve - a particular user problem, not simply an eye candy) - deliverables: source code to extension, document describing the design of the extension, what it tries to solve, and how. judging criteria: - validity of purpose/problem it tries to solve - how well the extension work in solving the problem - desktop integration - how seamless the extension is with the rest of the shell - code quality - how clean the architecture is and how clean are the code style end product: - all extension will be released as GPLv2 or later - they shall be stored in github/bitbucket after the competition, so that it is available for others to hack on - each participant will get commit rights to the repository - the organizers should publicize all of the extensions produced during the competition, their design, the purpose it tries to serve, their author information, their screenshots at a relatively permanent, publicly available site. i'm not going to push this forward . its just a random idea spitting , as thats better than letting it rot in brain anyway .. -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail / KageSenshi Inigo Consulting (FOSS/Plone Development, Training & Services) http://www.inigo-tech.com Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331 -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/
