I (Mordred) have a wonderful idea about how to deal with this award:
How 'bout donating it to MY open source project, Kosmos Online? Most people/projects only have ONE reason to receive a prestigious award like this... here's ten!
1) The developers are known as KODPIECE (Kosmos Online Developers, Proprieters, Instigators, Engineers, Creators, Etc.)
2) Money awarded as prizes will be used to further the project (an open-source online RPG) by buying things like hardware and bandwidth.
3) KOSMOS stands for Kinky Online Sex: Mordred's Only Salvation. I came up with Kosmos first, but we needed something for it to stand for... and this one won. :(
4) The main coder (me) is only 15. His mental age is 3.
5) I just got my age wrong. (I'm really 16) What's even worse is that I had to have it pointed out to me.
6) We have better makefiles than Verge 2.
7) I'm running low on Coke, and the Chinese take-out next door is threatening to seize possession of my computer. If this happens, it would be a tragic blow.
8) We're based in Canada, so $2000.00 US is really $4000.00 for us!
9) ESR doesn't need any more money after the VA Linux IPO, and if he doesn't win one of these Beanie awards I'll eat my hat.
10) Think of it as Charlie Brown's Christmas tree... "All it needs is a little love". (But money will do in a pinch)
Seriously, folks, Kosmos Online is a mildly cool project, which seems to be spawning more work on "spin-off" projects than on Kosmos Online itself... cool stuff like turning Loki Software's SDL into a GL Context selector, rewriting POV-Ray to double as a texture generator, research into real-time raytracing engines for use in games, and all sorts of interesting stuff... so think about it. For more information, drop me an e-mail at vining@pacificcoast.net.
Kosmos Online... the *very* alternative choice.
... we now return you to your regular Trolls.
