Plugin & Theme contest 2015 ideas

[psychobunny]

We haven't had a contest this year, something I just realized when I ressurected our blog earlier today.

Can we get a show of hands of who'd be interested in participating?

If anybody is interested in sponsoring prizes please send me a PM, and we can figure out cross-promotion strategies as we've done with sponsors in the past.

Feel free to suggest ideas, themes, etc for the competition

The year is very close to ending. When would you set the submission date?

And I'd love to join this one. Been getting more involved with NodeBB plugins and I'd like to try my hand at a plugin + widget combination. Haven't touched widgets yet.

I think starting at the beginning of November and ending at the end of December would be a good time span for this kind of thing.

[psychobunny]

I think we should make a dedicated theme contest to encourage more themes, we have tons of plugins already!

[rbeer]

How about a contest who fixes the most plugins then?

[Kowlin]

@rbeer Haha, that made my night. Lets start with the oldest plugin we can find :trollface: Totally not a edit

I think the emoji you are looking for is :trollface:

[jongarrison]

I'd be interested in doing a plugin

[Mega]

I'd like to participate

[yariplus]

Very much interested.

[Schamper]

Make sure the rules are 100% clear and not open for interpretation this time

[HolyPhoenix]

I'm not much of a themer. But if there is a plugin contest I'd try to get something out there.

[julian]

As always, I'll contribute, even if can't win

[PitaJ]

There should be something for contributions or updating existing plugins.

[julian]

Yes, we all want nodebb-plugin-calendar updated @pitaj

[PitaJ]

@julian I have wayyyy too much work on my hands

[Marcel Doe]

Admittedly, the lack of themes is what stops me from switching to NodeBB.
I sadly don't have $750+ to get a theme developed.

[psychobunny]

That's the price if you want the core nbb devs to build it. You should post on this community to see if somebody can build your theme within your budget

[yariplus]

@Marcel-Doe

I can likely work within your budget. I've been wanting a project to beef up my front-end skills.

Plus, I need to feed my cats. :octocat:

Hit me up on the skypes, yariplus as well, or email works too, if interested.
