Hi nixers !
Here is an idea I had : weekly contests ! What about giving people challenges about UNIX, and give them a whole week to solve it, however they want. One they found their solution, they post it in a [spoiler] tag, and at the end of the week, the community vote for the best solution (You can't vote for your own solution obviously) I don't know if we can turn a normal thread into a poll after it was posted, but the implementation doesn't matter ATM, just tell us if you'd be interresting in such a thing ! For example, here are some contest ideas (if you have more, share it !)
Who's in ? |

Very interesting.
They have a lot of those on unix.com. It kinda look like your "programming challenge" but related to unix only. |
|||
|
|||
I just wanna say: "FUCK YEAH"!
It's a great idea. I'm in! |
|||

Even though I have very little time. |

I guess we're enough to start a contest next week then :)
Do you have some idea ? Or you can choose from the ideas I had. We're not too much yet, so I guess we can all settle on the theme of the first contest. I personnally find the RAM one funny as a start. We could name it "The milkiest way" |
|||
|

I agree. I think I have a good shot at winning, too, because I have the bare minimum RAM it's posible to run a usable OS on - 32 MB. Although I did get FreeDOS to run on 8 MB, but that's not*nix...
I support the lowest RAM contest. Maybe we should put some minimum requirements on it, though, like you need to have a web browser open, text editor or similar. If you don't, you'll just get people who kill every process other than init and their shell and win easily. my website: kaashif.co.uk

You're probably advantaged here, for sure. But be careful, you could be surprised ;)
That's a good point though. We leave users the choice of their programs, but some are mandatory. Let's say...
Is everybody ok with this list ? (And this contest) |
|||
|
|||
Is there going to be a prize?
|
|||
|
|||
No. At least, I can't give a prize to somebody. If anyone wants to give something, it's up to them
|
|||
|
|||
Bragging rights.
|
|||
|
|||
You could always download more ram to not use as a prize. Are we going to put this RAM contest in its own thread? |
|||
|
|||
Once at least 5 people agree on the subject of this contest :-)
|
|||
|
|||
Well, I'm OK with it.

I'm OK with it. Not sure how I'll do though.
