[edit] Alfresco Chumby Awards for Community Achievement

What is a Chumby and how do you score one? Simply put, Chumbys are little marvels of technology that are about the size of a coffee cup, have a touch screen, connect wirelessly to the Internet and have a library of addon widgets. What is probably more interesting, especially to the Alfresco community, is that Chumbys are Linux-based, open-source development platforms.

Most people will use them as an alarm clock to wake them up in the morning, to view digital photos, to listen to Internet radio, to check the news, weather and sports, to look up a recipe — all of the usual ways that we interact with Internet-based devices.

We couldn’t think of a better way to reward community participation each month than to give a Chumby to the person who has answered the most questions on the forums. We can’t wait to see what clever Chumby web scripts our community members will build (think URL-based access to content and content services).
