[Vanhackspace] VHS Hack Challenge

[Dallas Luther]

*VHS Hack Challenge*


It is our pleasure to announce the first VHS Hack Challenge. With all the
amazing projects we have seen in the last few months at VHS, we want to help
a few of these projects make it to a wider audience. Also, we want to give
you, our fellow hackers, a little incentive to finish that masterpiece you
have been working on and promote the VHS ideals of do-ocracy.


The entries can these forms;


*Post a tutoria*l - open an Instructables account or post on your own blog.
Quality of documentation is a factor, so please keep good notes and take
lots of photos to help those who wish to replicate your little hack. Instant
bonus points for getting a mention on MAKE or Hackaday. Please include some
mention of the VHS Hack Challenge for our vain little hearts.


*Give a talk* - Got the goods on something interesting? Come and give a talk
on it. If its informative and we can post a video of it - it will be
considered.


*Write some code* - Maybe a little open source project you been working on?
Got a helpful website up and running? Mention the VHS Hack Challenge,  post
it to the mailing-list and you are off to the races.


*Make a kit* - Add to the growing collection of VHS kits - any little open
source do-dad we can offer to our members to build will further the cause.
Nice work soldier.


Open to both VHS members and non members alike. In the spirit of
inclusivity, we encourage everyone to submit their best hack or nicknack.


*Deadline*: April 30th, 2010 - The winner be announced at the following
Tuesday night VHS meet.  In the spirit of VHS, all entries will be judged
based on the consensus of the members.


*Prize*: Infamy... oh, and a brand spankin' new DSO
