Where do we want to take the Derby?

[Majken Connor]

Questions from the Etherpad

What are our goals? (Should we change the goals?)
- Since I'm starting this simultaneously with the "where have we been
topic" let's build out what we think the goals should be, then compare with
what the goals have been.

What changes do we want to make to the format?
- Should we change from one topic a month to quarterly?
- What prizes should we give away?
- Should we have sub-contests?

["Here's a big one: Should we live under the Foundation umbrella, Webmaker
level 2?" - Will create a thread specifically for this question.]


I expect this one will spark the most discussion! Please don't hold back!

Hi,

I think one topic a month is a good option and this can stay. Developers
need time to develop something fruitful, and one month is good enough for a
demo-sized application. In fact, I think it's perfect!

About prizes, I'll again like to see Fx OS devices as the first prize, if
possible. Prize is a huge motivating factor, so first prize should really
be attractive, nowadays there are contests everyday, so a big prize will
help devs to decide on which contest s/he have to spend more time. We can
also give away digital certificates to all who attended.

About sub-contest - I'm not clear about the idea...

Hoping to hear from others.
