X-BeenThere: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 07 Jan 2012 17:23:10 -0000 Hi all, StackOverflow has something that they call "Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects". The way it works is that a suggested 220x250 pixel ad is posted here: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/114442/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2012. As soon as it gets 6 upvotes or more it will be included in a rotation of ads displayed on the right hand side of the StackOverflow site. "It must be an advertisement soliciting the participation and contribution of programmers writing actual source code. This is not intended as a general purpose ad for consumer products which just happen to be open source. It's for finding programmers who will help contribute code or other programmery things (documentation, code review, bug fixes, etc.)." I remember Gavin talking about the need for testers (I don't know what the need is for developers). Anyway, we could target the ad towards whatever we need. If you think that this is a good idea, please post some ad suggestions in this thread. Please don't post the suggestion on StackOverflow just yet since we're not allowed to have multiple ads for the same project and we'll want to make that ad a good one. D.H.
