Hi, I'm considering how to put together a contribute to open source contest, which will gets listeners of my podcast, but also whoever is interested, to submit to their favorite open source projects as a contributor. Thinking of offering prizes (possible multiple) based on pull requests, bug filing, documentation writing.
Want this to be a fun, and successful, contest over two or three months. I know some Nextcloud employees told me they once tried a contest and felt too many submissions were questionable at best in terms of effort.
What do you think, Lemmy peeps?

Maybe you could narrow the field a bit by identifying projects that need help (have actively expressed desire). That could help avoid the Nextcloud issue you mentioned. Limit the contest to that list of projects.

Great idea! Happy to do this, perhaps by asking projects if they would like to participate (and what they would like particular help on)
