Hi everyone,
Stack Overflow allows open source projects to create a free advert to
encourage participation in their project.
This is certainly worth exploring.
The rules are clearly
explained in the following post:
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/210389/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2014.
In summary, we create a 220x250 image that encourages participation
in
Apache Commons. We then post it as an answer to that thread and it
will be served up automatically to Stack Overflow users (provided we
receive enough up-votes).
I'm happy to do this on behalf of Apache Commons, but I wanted
feedback on:
- Whether we want to do this?
- Is there someone more talented who can do the image work?
Last time this advertising spree was organised
(http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/195823/open-source-advertising-sidebar-2h-2013)
there were only 8 participants. We should get in on this.
Another way to make the projects more visible is to edit Wikipedia
entries
that refer to implementations in various programming languages of the
concept
explained in the article.
[I mentioned this some time ago, but there were zero comment about
usefulness or
feasibility (I don't know how easy it is to become a Wikipedia
editor).]
Regards,
Gilles
