Fedora Summer of Open Hardware and Fun Sweepstakes

[Tom Callaway]

Today (at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time), we're launching a sweepstakes
for our Fedora Contributors called the Fedora Summer of Open Hardware
and Fun! We wanted to do something nice to thank our Fedora community
for all that they do for Free Software and Content, and we thought that
giving away a lot of Open Hardware would be a great way to do that.

We're giving away 220 total hardware units, including:
* [50] OLPC XO 1.75 units
* [150] Raspberry Pi (B) units
* [20] Arduino Uno R3 (assembled) units + choice of shield (8 different
shields to choose from)

Unfortunately, we don't have enough hardware to give something to every
Fedora Contributor, so this is a sweepstakes, and sweepstakes come with
all sorts of rules and restrictions.

This sweepstakes is for Fedora Contributors (defined as users in the
Fedora Account System who have signed the FPCA and are in one additional
group). There are some geographic and age restrictions, the reason for
this is that it is extremely costly and time-consuming to determine
whether or not it is possible to run a sweepstakes in a given country.
Sweepstakes laws and regulations vary considerably from country to
country, and many countries have strict registration requirements and
fees associated with running sweepstakes. Other countries simply
prohibit sweepstakes entirely. As a result, we are only offering this
sweepstakes in countries where we know that the sweepstakes is lawful.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Also, please note that Red Hat employees are not allowed to enter the
sweepstakes.

To learn more, read the full sweepstakes rules, and to enter, please go to:

*****
And now, a quick FAQ:

Q. Hey, it's not summer where I am!
A. That's not a question.

Q. Why does it say Summer when it isn't Summer where I am?
A. Just close your eyes and pretend it is Summer. Think of the warm
fuzzy feeling you'll get from winning one of these sweet prizes.

Q. Where did the money come from for this?
A. I'm going to assume you mean that in a specific way, not in the
"Daddy, where does money come from way". If you are really asking the
more generic question, just watch this video
(http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/kids/cartoons-tv-movies-kids/ch...).
For everyone else, the money for this sweepstakes came from a special
allocation from the Open Source and Standards group at Red Hat, and did
not take away from the normal Fedora community budget in any way.

Q. Why can't Red Hat employees enter? We contribute a lot to Fedora!
A. Because in the eyes of the law, it seems shady when a company runs a
sweepstakes and their employees end up winning.

Q. Why is there an age restriction on this?
A. Because it is a sweepstakes, and that's the law. It varies by region,
but our app is clever enough to adjust it accordingly.

Q. I am sad that my state/country/unincorporated region prevents me from
entering this sweepstakes. Is there anything you can do for me?
A. We feel sad that we have to exclude you. Much sadder than the time
that Tasha Yar got eaten by that sentient oil spill. Short of sending
you hardware, money, or other legal impossibilities, feel free to leave
a comment on this post with a suggestion on how we can make it up to
you. Also, feel free to mention your country. If there are hundreds of
people left out in the cold in Luxembourg, we might be able to do a
legal review and have it added for future sweepstakes eligibility (no
promises though).

Q. What about Fedora users?
A. We love you too, but we really wanted to give an extra-special thank
you to those Fedora Contributors who take that next step and help us
make Fedora better. You can become a contributor and be eligible when we
do something like this again, see: http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora

Q. If I win, how will I get my hardware?
A. We'll ship it to you, on our dime. We'll ask the winners for that
information later.

Q. I can't decide which hardware I want, can I pick them all?
A. No. You need to pick one. Just one.

Q. Can I enter multiple times?
A. No. (Actually, I think the app will let you re-enter if you change
your mind, but only the latest entry will stick.)

Q. How do you choose the winners?
A. Completely at random from all valid entries.

Q. How did you get so many OLPC XO units?
A. The wonderful folks at laptop.org donated them for us to give away.

Q. How did you get so many Raspberry Pi units?
A. Black magic. Deep black magic.

Q. Why Arduino? It doesn't run Fedora Linux!
A. So what? It's open, its fun, and you can do all sorts of Open Source
geekery with it.

Q. Why didn't you choose to give away instead?
A. Our crack team of Fedora experts (okay, me, Robyn, and Ruth)
generated a list of hardware, then ranked them by coolness, cost, and
availability. Except for the awesome and well dressed folks at
Laptop.org, no one had any cool free hardware lying around (although, I
offered to put some old SPARC systems in the mix, which was vetoed), so
we ended up spending our money on the coolest things we could get the
most of at the least cost. We'd love to do this again, so feel free to
leave a comment here with your suggestions.

Q. Hey, I'm a hardware vendor and I want to work with you to give away
more awesome Open Hardware to Fedora people in the future, who do I
contact to help out?
A. Tom Callaway <spot(a)redhat.com&gt;

Q. Anyone else you'd like to thank?
A. Why, how nice of you to ask. I'd also like to thank Ruth Suehle &
Robyn Bergeron for brainstorming, researching, and generally being
awesome to make this a reality. Luke Macken for writing the app code
(and making changes at the last possible minute). Mo Duffy for making it
simple, clean and beautiful to enter. The wonderful folks at Farnell,
Adafruit, Sparkfun, and Laptop.org for all of my export and ordering
related questions. Pam Chestek and Erin Dutton, for helping this
sweepstakes be fully blessed and legally awesome. Amy Ross, for
addressing our many export needs. Kevin Fenzi and the folks on the
Fedora Admin team for making sure we had this webapp running, and
sitting in the proper location (except for that brief minute where all
mainpage traffic was pointing at the webapp, whoopsy!). And of course,
Red Hat and OSAS for paying for it all.

Cool, I will inquire with the APAC'ers.  :)

My total is about $24,150.  May be my legalese misunderstanding on ARV.  May need to
verify.

Spot  - ~tom, concur on cool hardware.  ;)

The choices of OLPC, Pi and R3 sound great.  I will think of other ideas on this.  :)
===============================
Sending positive Fedora 16 & 17 to your computers now.  :v)

Please have a Great Fedora day and/or evening! :~)



Thank You

So here's the deal:

The limitation here is that every country that we want to involve with a
sweepstakes has to be specifically cleared by Red Hat Legal and factored
into the rules and regulations for the sweepstakes, and this involves
outside counsel and is rather expensive (and even after we pay for them
to do the work, they may come back and say that the laws in that country
make it too difficult, risky, or expensive to hold a sweepstakes there).
Combine that with the fact that Red Hat hasn't really done a lot of
international sweepstakes, and we ended up with a lot of countries that
simply haven't been reviewed (including Mexico and all of Latin
America). We're hopeful we can review some additional countries for
future sweepstakes (assuming this is successful).

If there are other countries that there are multiple Fedorans in, and
they would like to participate in future sweepstakes, they just need to
tell us which countries, and we'll add them to the list for RH Legal to
review for future sweepstakes.

(Note: I already have the following countries listed for future review:
Panama, Greece, Mexico)

Again, I apologize that we cannot include everyone, we hope to resolve
this for future sweepstakes.

Tom,

Can you please add Nicaragua to the list, I would love to get a raspberry
pi for amateur radio use.

Spot, any reason why a few European Union countries are listed and not
the rest? Me would assume the regulations should be same/similar and
once imported to EU, it does not matter to which country. But I'm 
not lawyer but could be nice to investigate it = countries++.

We can probably help here in Czech Republic with distribution/legal
stuff. With overwhelming work by Jiri (/me is happy to help him) we
have very nice community here.

So please add Czech Republic and Slovakia (if it's not possible to
make it for the whole EU - that I'd prefer a lot).

Dear Tom Callaway et all,

It's great opportunity to support us participate in more open fields
(open software then open hardware).

I do not see my country, Vietnam, in the registration form so I thought
what's happening.
It's great if I can register a Raspberry PI or something for Vietnamese
contributors.

Rgds,
Tuan

Good eyes. This was a mistake in the rules (the existing text was part
of a "legal fill in the blank" that somehow got reverted when we pushed
live). The correct line is:

The maximum total ARV of all prizes awarded is $24,150 USD.
