My suggestion to Kevin (since I couldn't think of any good FOSS competitions for his group offhand) was to think about what sort of competition he wished existed, then try to get a donor to chip in a prize for it. Might be a little too much overhead, though, and too short a timeframe... --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
