IEC Open Source Mela

The big contests begin

Thursday Mar 20, 2008

The IEC open source committee is organizing a series of contests for Sun's enthusiastic geeks. The banners and e-mails inviting contest entries are already out. IEC engineers are busy trying their hands at these contests. The passion for open source in IEC needs to be seen to be believed.

The following contests are being organized:

  • Mad-ads  
  • Open source poster/logo/caption
  • Acrostic puzzle
  • Open source gaming

At the end of the day, contests are an opportunity to learn and get better at things. To quote Geoffrey Gaberino:

"The real contest is always between what you've done and what you're capable of doing. You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.”
