Linux Scavenger Hunt Party

Posted by Hemos on from the go-out-and-win-prizes dept.

Jeff Gerhardt writes "The Linux Show is in the process of planning a live and interactive show, aka The Linux Scavenger Hunt Party. At 8:00PM, CST, on the 26th of October, the URL of the questions will be revealed on air." The general concept is to find answers to Linux and technology related trivia questions. They are looking for help with planning and would love any Q&A suggestions sent to: hunt@thelinuxshow.com

    Are they nuts? Their site is going to go down so fast it'll make the slashdot effect look like a day in the park! Who wins isn't going to come down to who actually /knows/ the stuff best, it's going to be to who can get to their page the fastest before it goes down.

      Agreed. No one's going to be able to get the silly questions.

      Why not post an email address where you can get on a list of people who'd have the questions mailed to them. I think I could stand to see the list appear in my Inbox. Hell, I'm probably not going to win the contest any way but I'd still like the list of questions so I could amuse myself for a few evenings.
