Chumby Looking for a Good Home

[nancyg]

Hello,

Just a reminder that you can still score a Chumby (http://www.chumby.com) for outstanding achievement in the forums. We have given several away since we started the points system, you can read about our past winners, http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Chumby_Awards.

Here is a tip from MikeH, an Alfresco engineer who is at the top of the points heap: put a reminder in your forums signature to award a point if the post was helpful. Here is the line that Mike uses, ** If this post was helpful, please click Yes on the Post Rating –> **. Take a look at one of Mike's many posts and you will get the idea, http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=19558&p=63597#p63597.

You can also browse the unanswered posts, there is a link under the Board Index link.

As a follow-up to Nancy's message, the points system works both ways.

If somebody answers a post for you and you don't mark their reply as being useful (especially if you later follow-up with "Thanks, that worked!"), then you're far less likely to have future queries answered.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Nancy,
my tip: replace chumby with another incentive. I won a chumby some month ago, but I switched off my chumby after a few days. Because, provided widgets mostly aren't very useful in germany.
Cheers, Jan

Thanks Jan, good suggestion, I'll offer a choice of a Chumby or some other cool device. Any ideas?

Hi Nancy,

I won a chumby some month ago too, but I think that a small notebook with alfresco pre-installed will be a great idea.
Or
The possibility of certifying in alfresco FREE????

Is this award still in play?

I could see on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Chumby_Awards that last award seem to be declared on oct 2009.
