Call for Participants: Rev Coding Sprint 2010

[Andre Garzia]

Hello Fellow RevCoders and RevCodettes,

I plan to organize a single day or two day coding sprint early or middle
july to celebrate the month of july or any other reason.

WHAT WILL THIS SPRINT BE?

We'll gather over the internet and will code some nice stuff for the
community. We'll divide ourselves into little groups and focus on some area
of interest according to each other interests. We'll release everything when
the sprint end.

I will put a little site online for us to sign up and collaborate (it will
be revlet based so that I can code this in 2 hours instead of a month). In
this site the teams will share stuff, code and if they want, they will
maintain some microblogging about the experience.

It will be terribly FUN, people will meet & talk & code and in the end we'll
have some new resources.

WHAT THE TEAMS WILL BE?

I have no clue, I will put an interface up so that you can create or join a
team. I for one want to be on the "Let's build an Standard Library" team
where we'll focus on what to do and how to promote the library created by
the Rev Interop Group but the idea is that a little anarchy is good, you'll
be able to create a team and then, you and your team have 24h or 48h to
produce something, the idea is that the projects should be quite small but
useful, for example, building a simple installer stack that one could make
standalones and use as an application installer on windows, mac and linux.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Nothing!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE ON THIS?

We'll be running a reward program and all who participate are eligible for
the benefits. The reward will be in the form of Karma Bonus which in plain
english means that creating FOSS software for revolution will make the world
better and your life better too. It will be a single day or two days for the
teams who need more time, just a weekend. Imagine on friday there's nothing,
on monday there are wonderful new and useful resources!!!

I will organize this even if I have no one to play with, I am pretty
creative and I can make voices so, if no one joins I can fake some
participants and have some kind of schizophrenic fun while I boss myself
while coding.

Cheers
andre
