Competition: CUBRID Bug Bash!

    banner.jpg
    So, today we once again announce a new event called " Bug Bash ", which will be held for one month, starting from September 1, 2011. The

    main idea of ​​this event is to improve the quality of existing tools and Web applications CUBRID, or rather:
    • CUBRID Tools
      - CUBRID Manager
      - CUBRID Migration Tool
      - CUBRID Query Browser (or its Eclipse plugin)
    • CUBRID Web Applications
      - CUBRID WebShell

    Therefore, we invite everyone to take part in this competition and inform us of all errors found in the work of the latest versions of the above programs.

    As a result of this, you will learn not only how to work with CUBRID tools and Web applications, but also how to become involved in an open source project and help the community. In addition, your help to improve the quality of our products will be rewarded with valuable prizes.

    Evaluation and Prizes


    It is pretty simple! For each error you find, we will assign one of the developers who will carefully check it. If the bug is confirmed, you earn a point! At the end of the month, we will compile a table of participants who found errors most in CUBRID tools and Web applications, and announce the list of winners. The main winners of this competition will receive:
    • Apple iPod Touch 32GB
    • And six Amazon or iTunes gift certificates worth $ 50

    Additionally, as well as the previous time , we will reward the most active users in the social services. networks. All you need to do is retweet our tweets or write your own about this event or about CUBRID. Blogs will be rated even higher. Active members will receive:
    • Three $ 50 Amazon or iTunes Gift Vouchers

    We will conduct this kind of competition, i.e. Bug Bash, regularly, about once every couple of months. As we will release more and more new versions of products, it will be important for us to collect user reviews and continue to improve their quality.
