Creating an ASF Project Game Application ?
Hi All
Another thing that came up last week in Prague was the idea of creating a simple game application that could be used as an interactive quiz on the web or a mobile device. So for example, it would display a project logo (or part of one) and see if people can match the logo with the correct Apache project. (Of course those projects with their name in the logo might need to have it blanked out or it might be a little too easy...).
What do people think ? (As we may have a quick prototype from Justin already created!)
Thanks
Sharan

Maybe we can use the Apache OFBiz survey functionality?

Thanks Rich - will do.
I also really like the idea of using our own projects, software and
frameworks to do some (if not, all of this).
Thanks

You may also want to contact the Cordova people, as they may know where
we should start looking or who we can talk to.

Excellent ideas! My one point is being sure that whatever
question/answer tool we come up with is 1) very easy to maintain, and 2)
data driven, so people can work on questions separately from the code.
For "how many committers are at the ASF", someone should be able to
write a data file that has the question, then has some binning numbers
(i.e. by 500's or something). A user picks 5000-5500, and then the
answer comes back 6000-6500 (actual number: gotten from JSON file).
Also - what Apache project has a logo that's just a brown three-headed
dog? We couldn't figure that one out at ATO2017.

I like that idea too. I think the logo thing came out of the fact that I had the roller banner with all the project logos printed on it and people kept pointing to them and saying - what project is that? (And I had no idea :-o)

What about hm...some more trivia-related things like guessing the right
metric thingy (that we can grab from Kibble or such) ? :)
"How many committers are there at the ASF"
"How many lines of code..."
"How many email sget send each day..."
like a multiple choice quiz.
