[osol-mktg] First Annual OpenSolaris Contributor Awards

[Sara Dornsife]

Based on the +1s, we are moving forward with this proposal. Get your 
nominations in.

What is a contributor?
You define it. There is only one category, one requirement to be the 
recipient of one of these coveted awards: that the winner has to have 
done something -- anything -- to the benefit of the OpenSolaris 
community. It could be postings, code, evangelism, curriculum, blogs, 
etc. etc. etc.


How are we going to do this?

Anyone can make a nomination:

- Send your nomination email to opensolaris-mktg at opensolaris.org
- Tell us who you are nominating and why you feel he/she should receive
an OpenSolaris Contributor Award.  Be specific.
- The first 200 people who send in nominations will receive an 
anniversary gift. One gift per person, but you can nominate as many 
people as you'd like. We'll collect your address and size separately.

What do nominators get?
- #1 T-shirt (artwork has been sent to mktg list)
- OpenSolaris stickers (for sticking on stuff - artwork sent to mktg list)
- OpenSolaris laptop sticker (the metalic or clear, small kind - artwork 
sent to mktg list)
- An OpenSolaris electrostatic cling (for your car window)
- A recordable CD/DVD imprinted with OpenSolaris for you to burn your 
favorite distro - artwork is located at

We can take nominations from Monday June 5 through Monday June 12.


Who wins?
 From the pool of nominations that are received, the 20 most 
contributing-est contributors will be selected. Those 20 individuals 
will be named OpenSolaris Contributors and will receive the same gift as 
above, plus a fancy OpenSolaris embroidered polo shirt for occasions 
when you need to dress up. (These are an extremely limited edition, only 
20 will be produced.) And an OpenSolaris "space pen", for when you need 
to write in zero gravity or under water.


Who does the selecting?
The CAB will judge which 20 members of the community will win.


Where will the nominees be listed?

The ones I have already gotten are posted there now.


When will we know who has won?
Winners will be posted on the anniversary – June 14.
