Hi all, Please have a look at the updated proposal in board-docs.
* In order to move things forward, I have chosen to only go with devs listed on ohloh.net, and excluding board members. * Randomly picking 6 from the top 10, using a weighted lottery system. * Any book choice, as long as it is a programming book.
I hope we can have a vote on this soon. (I'm afraid it is already too late for holiday season.)
Thanks, Johan

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*
- extended book choice: Stackoverflow list of good C++ books
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.
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)
regards, Johan
