I don't think we have a specific date in August, but I'll check. So, that gives us about 2 months or so. As we gage interest from potential judges, we should map out a specific schedule so everyone is clear. As far as actual judging is concerned, the initial criteria is pretty comprehensive, but I'd like for the judges can come together and help us figure out what else is needed.

Next step I think is to work on requirements for judges. I have created a page to collect the results of this discussion: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/awards/awards_land/contest_judging/ So far the only requirement I have listed is that you cannot be submitting an entry yourself. Do we want to say you cannot have contributed to any entry, even if you are not the submitter? Do we want to say you cannot be the spouse or sibling of anyone who has submitted an entry, or is that starting to get annoyingly legalistic? It seems obvious that you must be registered on the OpenSolaris.org site and hopefully you are somewhat active and engaged in OpenSolaris communities and forums. Is that a requirement? Is that worth stating? Do we want to require particular areas of expertise? We probably will not know all the areas we need to judge until after the submission deadline, since some entries will be submitted on the last day. Please post your thoughts on requirements for judges and let's discuss them. Next step I think is to come up with a process for judging. Again, please propose and discuss on this forum. Should each judge judge each entry and then all judges get together and discuss their results? How shall we deal with the logistics of having judges around the world? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org From tao.su at intel.com Wed Jun 4 22:18:08 2008 From: tao.su at intel.com (Su, Tao) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 13:18:08 +0800 Subject: [awards-program] Tony volunteer to be a judge Message-ID: Dear All, This is Tony Su @ Intel Corporation.

As for community engagement: I think that would a criteria for selecting judges if there's more available than needed. (I myself am not really active). If special expertise is required for judges, how would you verify that one actually has expertise in the given area? I think that multiple judges should judge each entry and these should discuss their results and come up with a single result to present to all judges. Having multiple judges for each entry should assure that a fair judgement will result. As for organizing: how about an access protected wiki? jp Am Mittwoch, den 04.06.2008, 14:41 -0700 schrieb Alta Elstad: > Initially, just posting a note here expressing interest as you did is all that is necessary. > > Next step I think is to work on requirements for judges.

Please comment and add your ideas. The submission deadline has passed and all entries received are listed here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/awards/awards_land/Entries/ I think each judge should evaluate at least two entries to get a bit of context for comparison. I think even more would be better, but don't know how much time we can ask from each judge. Each entry definitely needs to be evaluated by at least two different judges. Again, I think more is better but don't know how much time we can ask from judges. Some entries will take some hours to test. Other entries can be judged in a much shorter amount of time. Each entry should have a scorecard from each judge who evaluates that entry, giving a numerical score for each of the judging criteria and of course any comments the judge wants to make to support that score. The scorecards would only be visible to other judges, and perhaps only after everyone has finished his or her judging. Then all judges look at all scores and comments for all entries and decide who wins the grand prize, who gets first prizes, who gets second prizes. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org From jpabel at akkaya.de Mon Jun 16 16:02:55 2008 From: jpabel at akkaya.de (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=FCrgen?= Pabel) Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:02:55 +0200 Subject: [awards-program] Judging process In-Reply-To: <30035817.1213644998191.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> References: <30035817.1213644998191.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1> Message-ID: <1213657375.6948.4.camel@P7230.intranet.akkaya.de> Sounds good to me.

I guess this requirement is so obvious that I didn't think of it until now. If you are uncomfortable running unknown software on your personal or business equipment, consider running under VirtualBox (http://virtualbox.org/).
