@Schamper Ah, well in that case, should be fine.

[Tanner]

@julian started in august, finished in october

[Schamper]

@Tanner and this

It's technically cheating starting right now but hey, I guess that's the benefits of the pre-signup

[Tanner]

Yeah I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as everyone else at this point.

@Schamper that's a good post to bring up, because it's vague, and leaves it up to them to choose. So, I'll wait until they make an actual decision and will withhold making judgments until then.

[Schamper]

@Tanner in my opinion, don't announce a contest if you're not allowed to start on your submission until a month later.

Also my post just got flagged for spam

[a_5mith]

Calm down dearies, it's not about the taking part, it's about the making of the plugin.

[julian]

@a_5mith Is that Harold Saxon?

Lesson learned: Our rules for this plugin contest were not adequately codified or communicated to developers. What rules, you ask? Exactly.

In the interest of keeping everything civil and inclusive, we'll be making broad exceptions to submissions that don't satisfy the published in October || commits in October || NodeBB thread made in October rule.

Next contest will be a rule-fest, just you wait

[psychobunny]

haha rules.

The theme category is an auto-win because obviously @julian is discounted from winning his own money so... congrats @Tanner!

[Tanner]

[PitaJ]

@julian How do we vote? Or is that coming?

[julian]

We'll start a poll tomorrow morning

[arasbm]

Really impressive, I did not realize there were so many high quality submissions, good luck to everyone! Well, I will win a tshirt, right?

On a related note, how long will the voting last?

Also, are we allowed to publish updates to our plugin/theme based on feedback we got or bugs that we find, while the voting is in process?

@julian I noticed in the "short list" that there is an incorrect link to my plugin:

@mani, plugin-github-card, https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2788/who-is-in-plugin

[Scuzz]

@julian Simon Pegg

[mani]

@arasbm
@julian here it is : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2633/github-card-plugin

[julian]

@mani Updated the shortlist with the proper link, @a_5mith added SoundCloud SSO

[PitaJ]

@julian

Would you mind linking the Github pages, instead of the NodeBB posts?

By next year, I hope there is some type of competition as far as themes go, I'll just stand on the sidelines while Tanner collects his prizes! Next year (if we do this again) I won't let such an easy win slip by like that again... Congrats Tanner, you've earned it.

And Technowix that sounds like an excuse lol.

You'd better not sit on the sidelines next time. Looking forward to the challenge!
