Yesterday, Saturday the 22nd, (Sunday didn't exist this week as I slept through it) the GNOME Foundation started their Bounty Hunt.
This bounty hunt is pretty neat. They're giving little cash prizes to those who fix interoperability bugs in the GNOME Desktop. Those that do, (and get their changes accepted by the projects) can fill out a form and collect their bounty. The cash prizes total somewhere around 000 (USD). Most bounties are around -400. I feel as though I should fix some of these things to earn a couple bucks for school. I've wanted to rewrite the address book support in GNOME for a while, and thats one of the tasks.
So this may be the kick I've needed to do some development to help out some of the software I use everyday. At the worst time possible. Exams start in a week or so.
