Jean-Thierry Kéchichian Community Award 2024 - cast your votes!

[Piedone]

After the passing of our beloved Jean-Thierry to honor him, keep his memory alive, and foremost, inspire people to do good work for the community, we launched an award named after him for exceptional community members. Every year, the community votes on who has done the most for Orchard Core. After the nominations, it's now time to vote!

Cast your vote here! Voting ends at 2:00 AM UTC on 12 September and we'll announce the winner at Harvest!

The vote uses ranked-choice voting provided by RCV123.org. That way, you don't have to select a single community member but you can rank the nominees in your order of preference. In the end, we'll still have a single winner.

What does the winner get?

The award is foremost about recognition. However, the community provides some perks too:

• Mention of each year's winner in the docs.
• Post about it under the Orchard Core social media.
• Lombiq provides free custom domain usage on DotNest, publicizing the winner in Lombiq's media, and a year of sponsorship similar to other open source contributors and projects.

If your company works with Orchard Core and would like to incentivize community members, please let us know what else you can add!

@Piedone is there a way to protect submitting another vote from the same person

[Piedone]

There is some basic protection for that, yes (I'd assume with browser fingerprinting). Another would be to require people to provide their names, what I didn't want to.
