Edited description to make it more clear that this award is for a person who has been working on the open source viewer project.
When making a nomination, please be sure to write a comment about what their contribution was and why you find it to be exemplary.
Additional notes:
Nominations are now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Award winners will be announced in early September concurrent with the Second Life Community Convention. I will post a message to sldev and the Second Life blog with the exact date, time and location of this event. I've copied the following nominees to this category because the nature of their work exemplifies this category of contribution:

I've copied the following nominees to this category because the nature of their work exemplifies this category of contribution: Ellla McMahon Gellan Glenelg Liana Linden - 08/Jul/08 12:58 PM So nominations are 'OPEN' again or only allowed to 'add' people after it is closed if you are a Linden????? BOGUS MAN ! The judges had their first meeting a couple of days ago, of which I'm one of the panelists, and Liana is chair. One thing we looked at was the fact that the descriptions for many nominees did not match the category, as if the person nominating maybe made a mistake in filing.
So, we had two choices. We could have slavishly adhered to the exact nomination process, and said "tough, wait until next year". Or, we could have done what we're doing, which was to make sure that we considered the existing nominees for the categories they are most suited for. We all felt like it was more important that we get the end result right than it was to rely exclusively on an imperfect process. There were no new nominees added to overall pool, but Liana has copied a few nominations to other categories as appropriate. If anyone can come up with a better way of making things right, I'm happy to see the suggestion made here, but right now, I stand by this decision. I think the original nominations should stand. Throwing new names into mix after closing is not the way. In hindsight the deadline should have been extended if you did not approve of the original nominations.
This is like like not having enough entries in a contest so by adding 500 more tickets into the bowl the bowl looks full especially when a judge adds the names. shrugs
With the new nominations coming a month after the closing, this says it all: Resolution: <b>Fixed</b> Is there someone else that you all would like to nominate, but can't because it's closed?
I have no additional nominations but as quoting Rob Linden here, "but Liana has copied a few nominations to other categories as appropriate. "
It appears the entire Hippo Awards process has now been compromised. I for one knowing the judges are the ones adding new names "to other categories", even if they vote fairly, the whole process has now been tainted and the end results will not be believable. Even if this was rolled back to before the addition of nominees the integrity of the judging panel has been lost. What a sad situation for all of the Hippo Awards. WOW !!!! Be interesting how they talk themselves out of this one !
Edit to add this in Does M Linden know about this ?????? Wow the additional nominees were added by Liana Linden .
Originally nominated by Alexa Linden Both of them If this whole thing is not FIXED I'll eat my panties !!!!! You people need to dig a little deeper and not bitch only by the addition after closing but if was all done by Linden's nominating and adding ! RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED I think the judges need fired !!!!!! and a full explanation of what is going on !!!! but it prob get buried by Linden Lab....bad press "Linden Lab employees rig awards" shame on you ! I have a hard time seeing how this amounts to rigging. This has always been a Linden-judged event, and if you look at the list of nominations for this award, you'll find that most of the nominations were made by Lindens. If you'd like, you can make your own awards, with your own nomination and jurying rules. Please don't ruin this one for those of us who have been nominated, by smearing the event with baseless cries that it is rigged.
Winners now posted to http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/09/07/2008-hippo-award-winners-announced/
Many thanks to all of you for your contributions over the last year, and congrats to the winners! |
