The KDE project has announced the Plasma Javascript Jam Session . Participants are invited to create the most original and interesting plasmoid for the desktop, written using the Plasma JavaScript API . Entries may be sent to javascriptjam@kde.org by March 31, 2010, after which entries will be posted on kde-look.org on April 2 , and winners will be announced on April 9.
The code for all entries must be distributed under free licenses compatible with the KDE core code base. It is possible to use third-party JavaScript libraries and engines for data processing, but the work itself must be completely created independently, without copying code from other plasmoids. Both individuals and development teams can participate in the competition, but only one plasmoid is accepted from each participant / team.
As criteria for the evaluation of works are named:
The winner of the competition will receive the Nokia N900 communicator, a set of paraphernalia and payment for attending any of the KDE developer conferences, such as Akademy and Camp KDE. The runner-up will receive payment for the trip to the KDE developer conference and a set of paraphernalia. The third place winner will be awarded a set of paraphernalia.
