"April Fool's Day" GB
« on: March 10, 2012, 04:13:17 AM »
Aarrrgghhh!!!! :o

I just realised that the proposed "April Fool's Day" GB hasn't launched!!!  Does anyone still want to do this?  It was aimed for 1 Mar - 1 Apr and was proposed to be for very subtle whiffs aimed at fooling people that they are real.  Completion aimed for April Fool's day.

If people still want to do this one, please say now - I will run this poll for just 3 days.  If not, we can always hold it off for a year and do it next time.

Moreover, please say if you want to moderate it.

Regards,

Greg

I really want this to go ahead.
I have already defined what type of work to do, so, no possibility to give it up no ... ;)

A thought:  Run it annually or every other year 1 Feb-31Mar.

That's a possibility.  Though let's first work out if this one goes ahead...and if someone is willing to moderate!

I'll be glad to moderate this GB and I might even be able to get an entry in too.

Folks,

it looks like we have enough interest to run this one.  It will be a short one though...maybe around 2 weeks, since we need to finish on 1 April!

More to be announced on this front very shortly....

Not to worry mate - that was part of my reason for asking this question in the first place.  If we do run it again, it would have a bit longer.  The ultra short time frame is my fault...as I said in the initiating post. :icon_crap:

I have had problems finishing two month builds although I have finished several 24 hour builds on time.
