Community Awards - Proposed Next Steps

Some next steps I would propose:

1. Finalize the categories (as well as the number of winners per category). I would recommend not leaving open (e.g. 1-3); rather be clear on how many winners per category. - owner: TSC
2. Once the above is complete, create a Google Form/SurveyMonkey to capture Nominations. Also determine who is allowed to submit a nomination (typically I've seen this as open/anyone can submit) - owners: Aaron (Google Form/SurveyMonkey), TSC (Who can nominate)
3. In parallel, define any rules around the Awards - owner: TSC
1. Who is allowed to vote on each category?
2. What is the timing for Nominations / Voting (I typically allow at least 2 weeks for Nominations once announced and 1 week for Voting)
3. Can also consider including rules around whether someone can win the same award two years in a row (or defer and define this rule next year)
4. In parallel, review some hardware options for recognition (this will be easier once we know how many "total winners" there will be) - owner: Brett (done)
1. Generate some options from LF vendor
5. Finally, open Nominations and Voting. Send email notifying the community, initiate nomination period. Close nominations and open voting. - owner: Aaron
6. Determine "venue" to announce the winners. Given I don't believe there is an event (or TSC F2F) to attach it to, you can probably just use a TSC meeting. Something to consider though in the future, working back the timeline to allow for announcement at either an event, or a TSC F2F. - owner: TSC
7. Coordinate the shipping of hardware to each of the winners - owner: Aaron
8. Have winners take a picture with their trophies / post to Wiki(?) - owner: Winners
9. Write up a blog announcing the winners - owner: TSC Chair/Co-Chair or Aaron (i've seen both)
