All,
In case people hadn't heard, DARPA just announced what I think is the
coolest competition ever:
http://networkchallenge.darpa.mil/
On December 5, DARPA will raise 10 red weather balloons somewhere in
the US. The first person to get the location of all 10 balloons and
submit them will be given $40k.
I'm proposing that if "I" win, half the money ($20k) will be given to
the Django Software Foundation. The other half ($20k) will go to the
Python Software Foundation.
I've set up a StackOverflow site for coordination for anybody who
would like to join:
http://darpa.stackexchange.com/
I think the first thing that needs to happen is to get a critical mass
of users on the site and to use the Q&A capabilities of the site to
figure out what tools we should use next.
Cheers,
Adam Nelson
