Plugin / Theme contest!

julian

@Schamper I didn't realise the contest had already started

Schamper

@julian guess it's not this week huh, maybe I was too excited

julian

Original post updated with sponsor and prize information!!

@julian Maybe a stupid question but how will you handle the transport ? Also I don't know if it's like in France but here you need a bailiff to validate the contest when there are prizes.

Anyway cool prizes here.

@psychobunny Can we just take the value instead of the hosting?

julian

@trevor Yeah we might end up changing it to just a cash prize from us instead

Looks like I really need to get started now. When do you expect the official deadline to be announced?

julian

Unofficially, I'm thinking it would run all October, but that's still to be decided

Schamper

So when can we start submitting entries? ^^

trevor

Well we have the rest of the month to decide what goes down October as far as the dates, deadlines, etc. go.

So we'd like to start organizing a new plugin / theme contest - probably will make it a week-long affair (and announce it a lot earlier in advanced). The ol' plugin weekends were a real fun thing but maybe it's time to get a bit more serious and offer an actual decent set of prizes.

This is just the sign-up thread. Please let us know if you're interested by replying. The prize(s) will depend on the amount of pre-signups we get. If you know any developer friends, get them in here!

I'll update this thread over the next few days with what we have in mind regarding prizes and timeline.

Sponsors

Prizes

If this has not started already, I'd like to join as well. I would also fit into the newbie category as this would be my very first nodebb plugin.

Starting Oct 1 and will run for the entire month

I will try to do a light theme... Maybe foundation 5 :3 !

I'll tell you right now, if you figure out how to use foundation as an alternative framework to bootstrap for NodeBB, you will get a lot more from us than the above prizes I know it's doable, but it will take work, that's for sure!

@Technowix NodeBB uses templates.js written by @psychobunny
You can learn using it pretty fast by reading the NodeBB docs about this
