[yocto] Yocto Autobuilder Trivia Challenge for Dec 20th

[Flanagan, Elizabeth]

All,

If you pay attention to the autobuilder failure email announcement
list at yocto-builds at yoctoproject.org you'll notice the trivia
question at the bottom of the email. This months winner is David
Stewart who found 22 different countries. Richard Purdie got the same
answer, but David got his answer in 24 hours prior. One T-Shirt from
ThinkGeek is on it's way to David.  The next trivia challenge update
will be sometime in the new year. Thanks for those who've
participated. Subscribe to the build status email list (failures only)
at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto-builds to
participate.

FAQ:
------------------

General:
Q: What's the point?
A: To get people interested in the state of the build. To make
alerting people to build failure's a little more fun. It makes my life
and the maintainers life easier if people help keep on top of build
failures.

Q: What OS/software does the autobuilder infrastructure run?
A: openSuSE 11.4 with a slightly modified HEAD of yocto-autobuilder
master. I'm looking at doing this all via VMs to help host testing of
Yocto.

Q: Who is sponsoring this?
A: I am. It makes my life easier (not to mention the maintainers) if
people are paying attention to the autobuilder. We're beginning to see
the benefits of people paying attention. (Most of the past 20 builds
were green as of when I wrote this).

Q: I don't want to get spammed. What other ways can I participate?
A: In trivia? Sorry, email only. But, if you're interested in
autobuilder status (and you should be!), you can join
#yoctobuildstatus on Freenode or view
autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8010

Q: These failure messages are too informative/not informative
enough/import critique.
A:  I'm working on helping the autobuilder grab more informative
failure messages. Stay tuned.

Rules:
Q: Who can play?
A: Anyone who joins the list and responds to a question. With the
exception of me. Because that just wouldn't be fair.

Q: I want free stuff! When do you do this?
A: I randomize it. Sometimes I'll do it for a week. Sometimes a month.
Hard questions/challenges tend to have a longer run time. I never
announce when I do it. It's whenever I get the urge/think of a
particularly hard/easy/silly/dumb question.

Q: I can Google the answers, right?
A: Can you? I can't exactly stop you, right? Although some of the
questions won't be googleable. I do code challenges from time to time.
I've been known to ask for haikus.

Q: Can I submit a quiz?
A: Sure. But you can't answer your own.

Q: Who judges the answers?
A: I do. My judgement is final, but I'm pretty fair.

Q: I want to appeal your judgement!
A: Sure. Send an email to root at 192.0.0.1 with the subject line
"UNFAIR!" I'll get back to you if I decide to honor your appeal.

Q: I live in Antarctica. Why is my prize taking so long to get to me?
A: Penguins probably stole your package. They're notorious at doing
that. Seriously, I'll always try to get something to the winners, but
if you live in some weird inaccessible place, or someplace no one will
deliver to, or someplace I can't send to because of some legal
restrictions, well... you're out of luck unless I see you at a
conference.
