|
|
|
<p> |
|
On Monday 1 November 2021, a five-month coding phase starts and |
|
the participants focus on coding until March 2022. Participants may |
|
bring all their imagination to the competition; they may code |
|
any type of software they want, as long as it is Free Software. The |
|
software project can be a stand-alone program written from scratch, |
|
or you can modify or combine existing programs. Everything is |
|
welcome! The participants will have the chance to briefly follow |
|
each other’s work and exchange ideas. |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<h3 id="evaluation">Evaluation</h3> |
|

|
After the participants submit their programs, an evaluation phase |
|
is carried out by Free Software experts. Our <a |
|
href="/activities/yh4f/jury.html">jury |
|
members</a> excel in software development; among them are Neil |
|
McGovern, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation, and Claudia |
|
Müller-Birn, Professor for Human-Centered Computing at the Freie |
|
Universität Berlin. |
|

|
|
|
<p> |
|
The winners will be invited to receive their awards during a trip |
|
to Brussels in June 2022. The 2-day trip includes the Award |
|
Ceremony and social activities where the winners will have the |
|
chance to get to know each other better. |
