Hi all,
I'd like to get the developer book campaign done before the holiday
season this year.
The proposal is in board-docs:
proposals/developer_education_book_campaign_2014.txt
Differences with last year are:
- *sum* of ohloh.net 12-month rankings for Inkscape *and lib2geom*
Practical note, adding lib2geom doesn't change top 10.
- extended book choice: Stackoverflow list of good C++ books
Sounds good to me.
We had a bit of a discussion on IRC about this. For simplicity, I
think
it'd be good if we keep this a developer education campaign, i.e. C++
books. And then have another something for the non-coders. We of course
appreciate those efforts too, I just don't know how to "rank" them and
what to give.
Fine with me.
Something fun was proposed: add randomization to it. So, we pick 10
out
of the top 25 committers. The picking is done randomly, where your
win-chance is proportional to your commit count (p = your #commits /
total #commits)
I would rather just give the top 15 or 20 committers a choice. This is
such a cheap campaign for us we may as well go deeper (see list at end).
