I concur, i am however appointing judges at least 2 to oversee this competition. I am just the HOST/SPONSOR, I am too close to many people on this board (and at least half of the contestants), so it wont be fair of me to be a JUDGE.

Please go to the nomination thread - let us try to follow proper order please. Ordinarily, nomination has closed, we are just extending it a bit.

For the professional category, it may be tricky. Reasons below:

1. Some professionals may have a lot of task at the moment/till further notice; so, having to create a new project may be a bit off for them. At the same time, it may be used to strip down the number of contestants as it should all be about dedication

2. For newbies, to judge and get points, 0-3 existing projects will do plus a new (very simple) project to crown it. The more "existing" projects, the more points. 3projects maximum. 0 minimum as some may have none. They do not need repositories as many professionals do not even know how to use git and mercurial


3. For the professionals, the following should add more to their points
a. Points on stack overflow
b. Public projects/pair
c. 1-5 existing projects. The more projects, the more points (differentiating between them will be other programmers/judges test and performance results)

Its really tricky especially for the professionals category

^^^and so people, I present you with the chief judge of the competition (we are trying to observe fairness here).

I am already getting some profiles, I will however wait a bit before publishing the profiles. I will have to edit the profiles so that they can appear uniform a bit and match the judge's specification.

@dhtml18 please take my profile of the competition. I won't have time to send you a profile and follow up on the thread.

^^^just a simple profile, even if it is a single line.

My name is guru, i am a programmer - don do - but if you insist, then i can remove sha

@dhtml18 I don't understand your meaning of most popular, as for me, I have been around since 2009 and you are the most popular as far as this section is concerned.

Err, maybe someone else can explain, i am short of words. And i am not the most popular programmer on this section (maybe the most popular TROLL).

Most popular looks somehow truly. Same as "best". What about "Most valuable"?

who no knw dhtml for programming section dey on a long tin

Why don't it be open source best tool or platform.
Then people should create what is useful for others to benefit. Then we rate rate by most useful.

I appreciate those of you that have been sending your profiles. This is going to be interesting.

The rate at which profiles are flying in is getting alarming. . . .

u saw my own atlest u go stop calling me a blogger

Nay, you are not a blogger my friend - my mistake.

Even the ones that know their moms won't vote for them go follow dey nominate themselves Y'all would end up with miserable singular outcomes.

^^^you just dey run your mouth. I assume you know you are one of the judges. I have been waiting for you to come online.

rara o! I never judge myseff finish ChinenyeN please help. You're one of the most alturistic members that has trodden these board. Plus, your longevity, persona and incorruptibility in my opinion, makes you the most suitable candidate for the judge job.

dhtml18 i have sent mine...

I have seen it and that of others too.

Ehn? So there was a popularity contest? What were the parameters?

^^^Yeah, uhm those parameters eh - am sending you a PM

I'll send mine soon

@dhtml
Good job boosting this section by sponsoring and encouraging competition, trolling and stuff.
It wouldav been drier otherwise.
More grease to your elbow. More RAM to your puter.
Most popular- that would be you, obviously.

How about sponsoring a most unpopular/infamous/irritating/annoying programmer? maybe next year?
I know someone who'd win with a landslide.
They would'nt be enough competitors though.

Thanks for the compliment bro, as for the most unpopular programmer - information reaching says there will be only one NOMINEE, and even if we RIG in another nominee - that other nominees may not get any voters (other than himself - he may not even for himself causing zero vote - DISASTER)

how do we know u received our profile dhtml18 can u send us confirmation message or list name of profile u received here thanks

I shall create a thread likely today on list of profiles i have received.
