jolla could organize community challenge [not relevant]
Hello to the jolla sailors in charge,
maybe all the developers and designers by jolla are currently full in action on their tasks.
It is just an idea, but it could be more fun between jolla and the community, if some opened concepts are turned as challenge to the community.
For example, if it will be needed especially a new hardware, software, app or toh. Community will be asked for the concept, each one of together could bring his concept, with all material that the people could use, workflow,mock-up, test-version, pictures,sketches,descriptions, and so on...
jolla team and community vote for the best concept (or x best ones), and winners could participate to development. And maybe something else more for compensation ( a gold or silver or bronze TOH... lol).
Those kind of challenges could enforce the bound of jolla-team with community, and some concepts could be more adapted to the jolla-community.
Something like the google summer code...
What do you think about it?
Nice sail
Very nice, but also time consuming, idea! :) It might be most interesting if someone from the community would organise such a thing, with a few prizes provided by Jolla.

eric ( 2015-01-23 10:13:43 +0200 )edit@Xmasjos that right, but everything is time consuming. the idea is not just to make a challenge for a challenge., but make it bound with a real need.
cemoi71 ( 2015-01-23 10:30:28 +0200 )edit@eric that fine, thank you for the links. it is quite good if jolla-team already make this kind of experience. seems that i've passed one (i'm quite new).
cemoi71 ( 2015-01-23 10:35:57 +0200 )editWhat do you think about with something tangibles with examples? do you mean a proposal of challenge organisation? or proposal of concept?
@cemoi71: I trust your imagination :) Feel free to propose anything you'd like to see happen and based on the votes, views and comments, we'll have a pretty good idea of what we could do, thanks!
