I am *very* excited about this, and I would love *us* to win this award or at least deliver a very good showing. We need to provide some information, within a week, and I would like to invite all of you to makes proposals for the short sentences, for the logo or screenshot we should be offering, and how to create a short video about the main contributors. Who should be in this video, and how? Anyone here who would like to do the collection/editing of video snippets? I have no technical knowledge in this area, and we should think about a way to make a nice video showing *several* people, that will also looks interesting for observers that are not our default users. This is where your help is *really* needed. Below are the questions from sourceforge, let the brainstorming begin! - Carsten -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: "Our project is [-foo-]." For example, "Our project is a tool that helps you wash your car." 2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: "We should win because [-bar-]." For example, "We should win because we have a strong community and we solve a universal problem." 3. Please provide a logo (or screenshot, if you'd prefer) for your project. It should be at least 640x480, but we'll also be showing it as a thumbnail. 4. This one is optional, but it could make a big difference. We'd like to show our voters a video that introduces them to the core members of your team. Send along the URL (on YouTube) and we'll make sure they see it! 6. Our finalists are usually pretty interesting people. Are you willing to be contacted by our public relations team about interviews with the press?
