2 years ago when I started breadpig, I had ambitions for a vague 'breadpig prize' -- what your proposing is a much more concrete idea. It's great and I think you're absolutely right on with this (and would love to have your help in the near future, if you're up for it). I'm officially retired from reddit, tho, so there'll probably be no blog.reddit takeover ;)
But I do like this idea. I'm proud to be one of the AwesomeFoundation trustees; the org itself is nothing short of awesome: http://awesomefoundation.org/ http://awesomefoundation.org/
Creating something with a more 'help the world' bent would be great, especially if it's software-based. To even play a small part in starting the next Ushahidi...
- jacquesm 16y agoLooks like they're in good hands with you :)
- chime 16y agoI'm totally up for this. AwesomeFoundation could be the main host for the prize and you can probably have additional sponsors for each idea, maybe in a different field each (health, farming, education etc.) Give me a shout out whenever you are ready.
