As part of the RoSctober Race presented by Race of Sloths, we recognized this repo to be highly valuable in the open-source movement, and we want to encourage developers to contribute to it.

The RoSctober Race contributions will be rewarded proportionally to their contributions to the selected open-source projects. Read below for the official rules, and let’s see who will climb to the top of the Sloth Hall of Fame! 🦥

TLDR for maintainers:

What is the RoSctober Race and Race of Sloths?

RoSctober Race was inspired by Hacktoberfest and is the first thematic Race of Race of Sloths project. Our goal is to make the open-source contributions more fun and rewarding, allowing developers to contribute, get recognized, participate in weekly and monthly quests, and boost their profiles by earning points and competing in the leaderboards - all in a non-intrusive way with just a couple of commands directly in GitHub interface.

  1. Every contributor is welcome
  2. Prize Pool: $10,000 USDT 💰
  3. Eligibility: Earn at least 100 SP during RoSctober to qualify for the prize.
  4. Competition Timeline: October 1st to October 31st, 2024
  5. Submission Process: Tag @race-of-sloths in any comment on GitHub to automatically submit your PR.
  6. Scoring system: Tag @race-of-sloths score [1/2/3/5/8/13] (for maintainers only!). Detailed info here: Sloth Points System.

Not interested in this.

Also, the second comment IS SPAM, DO NOT open that link!

@SteveLauC Thank you for your prompt and honest reply! We do respect your decision and we are not going to change it.

I am the founder of Race of Sloths and use nix in several projects. Thank you for your hard work!

Since the goal of RoS project is to help open-source projects to make development more fun and engaging, I would much appreciate your feedback about the concept of our project.

1) Is the concept of Race of Sloths clear for you? 2) Is there anything in Race of Sloths that we can change for you to reconsider your decision?

Hi @frol, I thought this was a scam, so my reply sounds somewhat harsh, I am sorry, and I apologize if it ever made you feel bad. Though I still won't join the party as I am too busy with other stuff, sorry.

Is the concept of Race of Sloths clear for you?

Yes, after checking the "How it works" section on your website.

Is there anything in Race of Sloths that we can change for you to reconsider your decision?

I haven't participated in such projects so I cannot give any suggestions.

I still won't join the party

This is just my personal decision, if anyone within the nix-rust organization wants to participate, feel free to re-open the issue.

That was our bad. We have changed the approach based on the feedback.

I understand the capacity problem and am actively looking for solutions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have ideas. Thank you for your time. Cheers!
