Tips for participating in Collaborative Projects 2.0

We also announce one of the surprise prizes and present the first proposals.
The first prize that will accompany the GeneXus and GeneXus Server licenses is yet to be revealed, but we can tell you now that the second place in each category will win a LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0!! This Lego includes advanced, smart pieces for creating humanoid robots and vehicles that obey orders.
 


A few tips for better positioning your project

The following tips will help you add value and efficiency to your proposal.
These tips are:
- Release your projects under a BSD or similar license, so that the community can make the most of what is built.
- Less is more: try to describe your project in a simple but precise manner.
- In your project page, mention the technologies used for team communication and development, as well as the GeneXus technologies or features used in the project.
- SecondLife appears to be a good communication tool when the team members are in different geographic locations: SecondLife.
- Use the latest technologies.
- Find yourself a tutor who can contribute value and different standpoints with ideas and an external view.
- Manage it as if it were a real project, because that's what it ultimately is: Project Manager, Developer, Tester, someone who clearly documents the project and is in charge of marketing and implementation.
