Seeing as I don’t know how to start this blog entry, I’m just gonna jump into it:
The challenges or contests as described in the previous entry will not be happening.
This is due to the fact that they were supposed to be for a personal project of the person issuing the challenges. Were it presented as him looking for people to collaborate with, it would have been totally fine but the way it was, it felt to me like he was sorta trying to trick people into doing free work for him, which is something I could not tolerate. I have been trying to hash things out with him but as we both seemed to have pretty unyielding views of the situation, we did not come to an agreement and the person in question has since left the group.
Seeing as there was an interest for such challenges though, something similar will still be happening though. I don’t really want it to be something where one person comes up with a challenge, a bunch of people design something for it and that’s it. I’d like it to be something more collaborative that can lead to an exchange and discussion of ideas. But of course that is just my idea and since I want it to be a more interactive and communal thing, I’d love to hear you guys’ ideas, opinions and suggestions so we can make this thing happen.
