Hey all,
following my yesterday's announcement during DevConf presentation (*), I'm now
announcing the "DevAssistant 100 Github Stars Beer Competition" also here. Read
on if you want to improve DevAssistant and get a beer out of it :)
I've been noticing that the number of DevAssistant's Github stars has been growing
for some time, counting 80 at this moment. That's not bad, people know about us!
Being a "BDFL" [1] for DevAssistant, I like when it's being noticed. I also
like when it gets patches from wider community, when it gains new features or gets a bug
fixed.
Therefore I'm annoucing the "DevAssistant 100 GitHub Stars Beer
Competition".
Q: What is it about?
A: The competition is meant to make DevAssistant a better tool, to attract more developers
and grow the community.
Q: How do I take part in the competition?
A: That's very easy! You don't have to sign anywhere or tell anyone. Just do one
of these things before DevAssistant gets 100 GitHub stars:
1) Send a pull request that implements a nice feature, adds documentation or fixes a
non-trivial bug (I will be the one deciding whether the new feature is nice enough or bug
is complex enough :)). It's entirely up to you what you implement - if we accept the
pull request and it's non-trivial, you win!
2) Create a great assistant [2], upload it to DAPI and have it among first 10 "Top
rated daps", while also having it among 10 "Most rated daps" on DAPI [2] on
the day that DevAssistant gets 100 stars.
3) Have a presentation about DevAssistant and send me your slides and a picture of you
presenting.
Q: Do only DevAssistant contributions count?
A: No. All contributions to following projects will be evaluated:
-
https://github.com/devassistant/devassistant # DevAssistant core
-
https://github.com/devassistant/dapp # DevAssistant PingPong
-
https://github.com/devassistant/dapi # DevAssistant Package Index
-
https://github.com/devassistant/devassistant-landing-page #
devassistant.org landing
page
- Creating DevAssistant PingPong protocol implementation for a scripting language of
your choice (but you must be the first one for that language)
Q: Where's the beer in that?
A: I'll invite everyone who fullfills one of the above criteria for a beer (or, if
there's a little chance that we'll ever meet, I'll try mailing you a great
beer).
Q: What if I don't like beer?
A: If you don't like beer, you can choose a different beverage, assuming it won't
cost me a little fortune.
Q: When does the competition start?
A: Right now!
I'll announce the winners here after we get the 100th GitHub star. I'm out of the
competition, of course. I can buy myself a beer anytime I want and I don't even have
to do any coding for that :)
Feel free to spread this message as much as you want! I just hope that it won't ruin
me...
