Who is worthy of this honor?

To nominate someone, you must give at least a brief reasoning behind why they should be nominated.

More rules and policies are below.

Nominate the best and the brightest!

From the [H]ard|DCer of the Month - FAQ and [H]all of fame:

Q: What is the [H]ard|DCer of the Month?

Every month, the team gets a chance to choose someone they thought contributed greatly to the team, and give them a bit of recognition for it. At the begining of each month, a nomination thread is held. Here is your chance to nominate whoever you think deserves recognition. Someone can be nominated for any reason. It does not matter if they designed some massive piece of software to help the team in some way, or simply added a few boxen to ramp up their production.

Q: How do things work?

Nominations are held for 10 days starting on the 1st of each month. The nominated people move onto a poll and the Poll will be open for 10 days following the end of the nomination thread. The remaining part of the month is reserved for congratulating the winner and have fun. Same as before, vote for whoever you want, for whatever reaons you want. If there is a tie, a runoff will be held. After the winner is chosen, they are interviewed so the entire team can see what makes them tick.

For the [H]ard|DCer of the Year, there is no nominations thread because the only worthy candidates is the [H]ard|DCer of the Month winners for the current year. The poll to choose a winner is done in 2 steps : The first poll will include all 12 winners for the current year and we select only the best 4 winners which will participate in the next round. If there is a tie in the first 4 ranks, the tie winners will move together. In the second round, the one with the most votes will be declared the winner but if there is a tie, a runoff vote will be held. Each step will last 10 days.

Q: What does the winner get as prize?

Being that there is no cash flow funding the [H]ard|DCer award, there is only so much we can do in the way of prizes The [H]|DCers do not have a physical prize, but thanks to Kyle and the rest of the gang, we still have something to give winners. All winners will receive a custom title showing off their achievement.

Q: Are there any rules for this?

To nominate someone, you must give at least a brief reasoning behind why they should be nominated.


Past winners cannot be nominated until one full year after they last won.

You cannot nominate yourself.

Hard DCer of the Year winners are excluded forever.

Any contestation or question about the nomination thread should be done via PM.

Nominating ChristianVirtual for the front-end stats GUI.


Use Case
Across all the projects, i am immediately informed as to where my production capacity is best targeted at.

Business Value
Exposing real-time project stats in the aggregated manner done saves the individual folder from having to spend their time and resources obtaining the same body of knowledge. That 'free' situational awareness translates into a whole new level of team flexibility / responsiveness.


.......... and as a professional software developer with knowledge both on the front-end and back-end, i am quite curious to see how it ticks :D

Probably the most professionally crafted nomination ever proffered here on [H]! However, unless we've changed to the "one win per calendar year" model vs the old "one year per every twelve months" I'm afraid he's not eligible. :(
 
fastgeek As someone who is 'new', I appreciate a resource that onboards me intelligently into the thick of things.

Anyhow, I will poke around to see if we have a list of eligibles.

Thanks , really appreciate your appreciation. But I’m not qualified for nomination :oops:. Need to be a year after last win ( see here for the history http://dcotmy.hard-dc.com/dcotmy.html ). So maybe later the year ;)
 
Are we done?

Just two nominations this month?
 
I nominate Sextron for rallying up against XtremeSystems this past Sprint with what appears to be everything he had and even got permission from his boss to use their workstations as well.
