Pushing Simutrans on Sourceforge

prissi · May 14, 2009, 08:33:51 AM

I recieved this email from Sourceforge. Well,

Quote
Hi. You're receiving this message because you're an admin of a project at SourceForge.net. Thanks for reading.

Last week, we began accepting nominations for our fourth annual Community Choice Awards. We'll be accepting nominations until May 29th, and the ten projects with the most nominations in each category will become our finalists.

This email contains a set of links for your projects that you can use to nominate them for a Community Choice Award. After you're done, you'll be given a "badge" that you can put on your blog, project website, or newsletter to make it easy for your community to do the same. The projects that mobilize their communities are usually the ones that win.

If you want to promote simutrans on sourceforge, you can click on the link there: http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/nominate/?project_name=simutrans&project_url=http://www.simutrans.com/

(No idea, what will come out of this anyway ... )

What - of course we will win!

vilvoh · May 14, 2009, 10:22:45 AM

Go, Simutrans go! I recommend to announce this at language boards and blogs, to get more votes

sojo · May 14, 2009, 11:35:26 AM

I have it posted in german in the german forum. Good luck! Simutrans for president!!!

Ashley · May 14, 2009, 11:43:18 AM

Great idea, I've added a news banner for this.

vilvoh · May 14, 2009, 11:49:34 AM

It's the biggest banner ever!!

would be possible to make it appear more often? only until Simutrans wins...

VS · May 14, 2009, 12:02:18 PM

I created four more copies so that it is selected more often.

Ah, I didn't think of that, I was trying to find a way of having it appear more, good thinking

jamespetts · May 14, 2009, 04:01:18 PM

I've already voted... :-)

colonyan · May 14, 2009, 04:16:20 PM

Vote too here!

KrazyJay · May 14, 2009, 04:53:02 PM

Voted

micslu · May 14, 2009, 05:29:11 PM

Probably silly question but ...

Which "category" are you selecting?
* Best project
* Best Project for Gamers
* Best Visual Design (our artists offer this!)
or any other?

jamespetts · May 14, 2009, 06:15:18 PM

I voted "best project for gamers", since Simutrans is a game: it seems the most appropriate category. In "best project" and "best visual design", one is competing with a large range of non-game applications. Simutrans has the best chance of doing well if it is voted for in the games section.

I increased to 14 because we already had 14 news items, so it will be selected about half of the time for now

Perhaps in a few days we can go back down to 4-6 or so

I also sent out a newsletter.

And I'm using the news item code as my signature.

For anyone else who wants to do so, the code is:

Please nominate Simutrans for the SourceForge Community Choice Awards.

voted ...

whoami · May 14, 2009, 10:10:49 PM

1) I voted, too.
2) This is about the nomination phase.
3) It is possible to nominate a project for several categories in a single vote. But it makes sense to always include the games category in the vote for ST.

Nice, thanks!

Internet Explorer! I hate you so much. >:(

*cries*

Mac_#71 · May 16, 2009, 12:39:52 PM

Voted!

vilvoh · May 25, 2009, 08:58:57 AM

Perhaps you haven't realized about it but If you have more than one e-mail account, you can vote for Simutrans more than once..

P.S: I've voted three times for Simutrans... :

VS · May 25, 2009, 12:29:46 PM

Cheater!

You can vote twice as unlogged and logged in

VS · May 31, 2009, 11:50:17 AM

In case nobody noticed, the nomination period ended (yesterday) and you can't vote any more. I left only one news item of these 14, since we don't want to forget totally, and according to timeline voting will continue in about three weeks - if we make it into finalists' round! We still have Isaac's signature as well

Isaac Eiland-Hall · June 01, 2009, 12:29:33 PM

And I've just removed my signature, because it was only up for the nomination period

prissi · June 23, 2009, 07:46:44 PM

Since we made it into the last 10, please everybody vote for us again here: https://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/vote/. We have strong competition to beat!

Isaac Eiland-Hall · June 23, 2009, 07:52:51 PM

All I get from that page is:

QuoteXML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

But also going up the URL tree, same thing, so perhaps something wrong on their end?

Addendum: Happens in Firefox and IE for me...

Post-Addendum: Waiting a few minutes helped. Perhaps their servers are getting busy from time to time

VS · June 23, 2009, 08:24:13 PM

Hm, maybe with http (unsecure)?

Isaac Eiland-Hall · June 23, 2009, 08:24:54 PM

Please note that I will remove my signature in a few days or so - certainly when voting ends.

Please go vote!

IgorEliezer · June 24, 2009, 12:30:23 AM

Here's the latest news code (update to sig code for those that wish to use it):

The picture still says "nominate", but we're already nominated, aren't we? The picture in Prissi's signature is the correct one for this stage, I think.
