YUI 3 Gallery Contest 2010 — Win a Ticket to JSConf 2010

March 5, 2010 at 2:12 pm by Eric Miraglia and Dav Glass | In Development, YUI 3 Gallery | 6 Comments

We’re pleased to announce the YUI 3 Gallery Contest 2010. Thanks to our friends at the Yahoo! Developer Network, we have a conference pass to the sold-out JSConf 2010 to offer. We’re pairing that with a $500 gift certificate to Expedia.com to help the prize winner get back and forth to Virginia for the conference.

The prize will go to the person who authors the best new YUI 3 Gallery module between March 5 and March 22 and submits it for community use under YUI’s BSD license. As with any contest, there are lots of rules. We’ve noted some of the big ones on the contest page and you can read the full legal writeup here.

We’re thrilled with what we all as a community have done since late 2009 to make the Gallery a hotbed for YUI 3 growth and innovation. Greg Hinch’s Form module (submitted hours after the Gallery opened), Ryan Grove’s excellent Storage and History modules, Ilyan Peychev’s über-popular Accordion, Julien Lecomte’s SimpleMenu, Stephen Woods’s Timepicker, Adam Moore’s TreeView, Jeff Craig’s Chromahash, Dav’s own YQL module…and dozens more.

We hope you’ll consider doing some YUI 3 hacking over the next few weeks to add to this collection. We’ve listed some resources on the contest page, and there’s a forum thread going with ideas for new modules (please weigh in there even if you’re not going to be writing a module for the contest yourself). And, of course, the current Gallery is a good source of inspiration.

Happy hacking, and we’re looking forward to seeing a YUI Gallery author head out to JSConf next month!

What would be the price for the people from the rest of the world? :)

Best idea ever! Congrats to the YUI and YDN groups on putting together such an awesome event!

@Jeff: The prize for the rest of the world would be the community’s enduring love and admiration. Which is actually pretty valuable all by itself. -Eric

Communities are fickle. I’d hardly consider “quiet usage” “enduring love and admiration,” but whatever gets you pumped i guess.
