That's great! Inkscape T-Shirts will be cool! Does SVG has a logo? I'm not sure. Maybe Mozilla could offer some Firefox Tshirts, but they still didnt give me any feedback.
I also have thought about books. I think that "The Beautiful Code" (the same book I got from Google as a SoC gift) could be a good prize. I am not confortable with the idea of offering money prizes. I want to give things that will be present in the winners' lives, so that they will always remember "that SVG contest I won".
Any other book title you would suggest? Something SVG related, maybe?
So, at the moment we have Joshua's cafepress items, Patricks $50 and also some money (didnt decide exactly how much) that I will put in it.
I will ellaborate a set of rules now and email you again.

Hey, I'd be happy to help. I'll sponsor a couple of items I can make on my cafepress store (mug, t-shirt, etc), maybe with an Inkscape logo or SVG logo or something. What do you think?

Nice! I plan to put a bit of money on it too. Maybe I invest on it a tiny portion of my SoC money (what comes with geek stuff should go back to geek stuff). And maybe I get some funds from mozilla community support, they still didn't contact me.
I would like to ask here what prizes would you suggest. I need to figure out what would be cool to give as prizes.

Hey Felipe
This is the most awesome thing I have seen in a very long time!!!
I would like to help with your project in any way I can. I am a bit short of cash right now but I can pledge $50 for a prize.
If there is any way you could post a tutorial on this I would love to see it!
Unlike you, English is my first language. However I still feel like I am still studying it, so I guess this makes me EFL, instead of ESL!
Having said this, I think the message should read: "game will be ready to play once this messages DisappearS, disappears with an "S".
Es muy Bueno!!
Good job!

hello,
My name is Felipe Sanches. I am an Inkscape developer (also known as JucaBlues at the Inkscape community) and I am putting efforts in the spread SVG usage for web content. I am very excited about the possibilities that this technology brings and also about the
openness
of it (mainly compared to proprietary Flash technology).
I have recently developed a little game using SVG and
javascript. You
can see it here: http://bighead.poli.usp.br/~juca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svghttp://bighead.poli.usp.br/%7Ejuca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg
http://bighead.poli.usp.br/%7Ejuca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg
http://bighead.poli.usp.br/%7Ejuca/code/svg/minigame/minigame.svg
I would like to promote something together with Mozilla. I was thinking about a game coding contest. The rules would require
the game
to use SVG technology and to run properly in Firefox 3 (and, optionaly, on any SVG compliant browser). I would like to
promote this
contest myself, but I do not have enough resources to provide cool prizes and also I do not have the same visibility as you guys
have in
order to reach the greatest possible number of contest submissions from the webdevelopment community. Even harder when you think
about an
specific technology we are trying to promote.
Since Firefox is an SVG capable browser, and Mozilla is clearely in favour of open standards for the web, I supose that you would be interested in making this contest become a reality.
I can write a tutorial explaining which techniques & tools I used to develop this example SVG+javascript game, so this could also eventually help promoting Inkscape, which is the opensource SVG
editor
project to which I often contribute.
I am waiting to hear your opinions on the subject, best wishes, Felipe Sanches
PS: these are the instructions for the example game: Enter key - Starts the game Right and left arrow keys - moves Tux SpaceBar - tux tries to hit the MSN butterfly
also, if you need, you can zoom the graphics with ctrl + (plus) SVG is vector graphics, so you wont loose quality when zooming SVG content
