| Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Selecting the Great Fix winner |
+1
Greetings distinguished members of the Eclipse Architecture Council.
As we've discussed in the past, I would like your input into the process of selecting winners for our Great Fixes for Neon skills competition [1].
We selected our first two winners during the face-to-face meeting at EclipseCon. I've announced our first winner Eric Williams [2], and our second winner Nathan Ridge [3].
We need to select the next winner, and I'd like to do this as transparently as possible. The Candidates page [4] lists everybody who has had a contribution accepted by a project that is participating in the Neon release. This list is currently sorted so that contributions to IDE projects are first and weighted based on the number of contributions (with additional weight given to those contributions in areas deemed significant in the list what we provided to FEEP).
I believe that this list is more-or-less automatically selecting our first set of winners, based on the volume of contribution; it's going to get a little harder to select winners as we get to the end of our list of ten. Note that this list is dynamic and will change as contributions are accepted.
For our third winner, I'd like to go with the next person in the list and suggest David Pursehouse who has had (as of May 2), 104 contributions to JGit accepted. I'm making this recommendation based on the contributions in aggregate, not any single contribution. You will notice that many of these contributions are tests which are just as valuable as code contributions.
Please indicate your approval with a +1
Please also take a minute to consider our next candidate. For number four, I think that the list is making a reasonable suggestion, but still want to remain open to qualitative suggestions.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Wayne
