Programming contest
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 5:16 pm
Hi guys (and gals), it's been a while since I visited here, I've been extremely busy 
We just launched a programming contest on our service, and I thought that might interest some of the folks here. The subject of the contest is best source-code package that adds some kind of web based functionality - an API wrapper, a shopping cart, a bug tracker, a file manager - whatever you can think of (or even better - already have). The contest includes, but is not limited to, PHP - you can also submit packages in Python, Ruby, Java, Javascript and ASP.net.
We have over $40k in cash and prizes for the winners, sponsored by companies such as Google, Amazon, Zend and PayPal. The contest launched two days ago and will end on Feb. 24th. Check it out at http://www.binpress.com/contest
About our service - Binpress is a marketplace for source-code where developers can buy and sell source-code packages from each other. Our goal is provide a platform for commercial open-source which builds on free open-source, providing new ways for professional developers to earn a living as well as reducing costs and time for development projects. Naturally, we are looking for developers who will publish commercial packages on our platform, but free open-source license can be used as well. We are not focusing on that since there are already good solutions in that space (google code, github etc.)
Registration is currently by invitation only, but if you mention your devnet profile username, and I know you or seen you around - you would probably get an invite
Cheers,
Eran
