GNOME
GNOME

GNOME Foundation is proud to announce the relaunch of the open source desktop integration bounty. The aim of the contest is to recruit new developers and to more tightly integrate the various projects that make up the desktop into a more coherent, and complete user experience.

This contest is sponsored & authored by Novell and is being administered by the GNOME Foundation

The contest consist of new set of small projects and also the unsolved old projects from the previous rounds.

Complete the hack, enter the contest, and collect the prize.

Unlike the round one and two, there is no time deadline. The completed project will go into the upcoming GNOME release, depending upon the freeze dates.

People participating in the contest will be hanging out on the #bounties channel on irc.gimp.org.

Thanks for everyone who participated so far!

Happy GNOME hacking! :-)

Re: Desktop Integration Bounty: Check-in 2 Cheque-out !!!!

In fairness (and in contrast with your experience) I've had a number of patches applied, no problems.

Three one-or-two-liners (bug fixes), and two larger patches (fixing msn groupchat and core privacy).

Admittedly, most of the /feature/ patches I've submitted haven't gone in, but in each case that's because someone else had a better solution available.

(Not all feature patches got rejected - a four-line patch to alert you in a conversation window when a MSN user's display name changes got in :)
