Netflix Cloud Prize

Duration of Contest: 13th March 2013 to 15th September 2013.

From github:

This contest is for software developers.

Step 0 – You need your own GitHub account

Step 1 – Read the rules in the Wiki

Step 2 – Fork this repo to your own GitHub account

Step 3 – Send us your email address

Step 4 – Modify your copy of the repo as your Submission

Categories/Prizes:

We want you to build something cool using or modifying our open source software. Your submission will be a standalone program or a patch for one of our open source projects. Your submission will be judged in these categories:

  1. Best Example Application Mash-Up

  2. Best New Monkey

  3. Best Contribution to Code Quality

  4. Best New Feature

  5. Best Contribution to Operational Tools, Availability, and Manageability

  6. Best Portability Enhancement

  7. Best Contribution to Performance Improvements

  8. Best Datastore Integration

  9. Best Usability Enhancement

  10. Judges Choice Award

If you win, you’ll get US$10,000 cash, US$5000 AWS credits, a trip to Las Vegas for two, a ticket to Amazon’s user conference, and fame and notoriety (at least within Netflix Engineering).

I can see several of those categories where topic maps would make a nice fit.

You?

Yes, I have an ulterior motive. Having topic maps underlying one or more winners or even runners-up in this contest would promote topic maps and gain needed visibility.
