I recieved this email from Sourceforge. Well,

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 ... )

My projects... Tools for messing with Simutrans graphics. Graphic archive - templates and some other stuff for painters. Development logs for most recent information on what is going on. And of course pak128!

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

Escala Real...a blog about Simutrans in Spanish...

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

Great idea, I've added a news banner for this.
Use Firefox? Interested in IPv6? Try SixOrNot the IPv6 status indicator for Firefox.
Why not try playing Simutrans online? See the Game Servers board for details.

It's the biggest banner ever!!  :D would be possible to make it appear more often? only until Simutrans wins...

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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!

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 :)

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.
