Addition to proposal: we need some metric, and I don't want to spend a lot of time coming up with numbers so:
Top 10 committers to trunk for past 12 months, as calculated by Ohloh.net: http://www.ohloh.net/p/inkscape/contributors?query=&sort=commits_12_mo
If someone passes, next one on the list becomes eligible.
Thanks, I've incorporated these changes. I think maybe we're ready for a vote on this.

I've drafted a proposal for this book purchase campaign:

The current revision is attached to this email.
Please review and either suggest changes or edit in the repository directly. This seems like a really "easy" idea so I'd like to put it up for a vote swiftly.

Great that you are all positive about the idea. Perhaps we can offer a choice from a list of, say, 3 books, covering a bit more about people's interests/level of coding. Note that C++11 is around the corner, which changes C++ quite a bit. Also Stroustrup's "A Tour of C++" (it is about C++11) may be good for you Martin as it is intended for people coming from other languages.
I'm afraid of some developer envy, any ideas about how to pick who gets a book? (it is a nice idea to give people like Jabier a book too)
cheers, Johan

I think it's a great idea. So if we start an official vote, count me in.
I also have a suggestion about maybe buying an extra copy for someone who has been working hard to contribute but who does not yet possess commit privileges. Jabier has really been trying hard, doesn't have a lot of experience with C++, but has been really suffering from a lack of code review (he has requested numerous times for review of his branches and patches).

I just saw the book "Effective C++", which I believe is a great resource to inspire thought and learn how to write better code, and is meant for experienced programmers.
What is this C++ of which you speak? ;-)
I likewise have no C++ book, being a python developer first. I guess way too much and lean on the compiler to tell me when things aren't right. Would be useful to have a reference in physical.
