FUC 2016

This is an old snapshot. For current progress see baunic.blogspot.com
______________________________________________________

#FUC2016 is the competitive event finalizing the year's efforts of participating teams.

* We are seeking promoters and organizers, collectively called 'the BAUniC RETwarmy'. Current gathering place is @Virtua1Universe in twitter, facebook.com/groups/baunicretwarmy and baunicretwarmy.blogspot.com

* Great resource to use: lmfdb.org
* Great jump forward in some theories regarding fractal universes: helical-structures.org

Final date to present projects will be November 13, and voting will end on November 25, 2016, allowing adequate time for judges to test them and reach their conclusions.

Projects presented need to be consistent instructions on how to reproduce the results, including instruction set (x86, ARM...), Operating System (Windows, Linux...), program (and where to get the program), and steps to get from the seeding code to the rendered results.

Competition categories (so far):

Bitcoin donations are gathered here:

Treasurer, Nathan Fisher of the channel Nate's Turn (https://www.youtube.com/user/NatesTurn/videos)

During 2016, 1 Bitcoin of donations will be rewarded with 1024 votes rounded down to the lowest integer vote.

Current Coin Pot: 0 (zero)
(what we need is intellectual contribution, the coins are here just to tease and gather eternal support through the mechanism of vote deflation)

Voting:
Votes (for each category) will be given by voters to the projects they see fit in any order or arrangement. (For example, if I have 10 votes, I may wish to give all of them to only 1 project on the 'Best Formula' category, and give 3-3-2-1-1 votes on the 'Best Tutorial' category, and pass on the decision to my mate in the 'Best Scenery' category.)
Projects will be ordered by number of votes in their respective category.

Voters:
none(yet)

Participating teams will be rewarded with symbolic votes, 7 votes for their main project in the chosen category, +5 votes for a tutorial to building a similar project (not just steps to reproducing the results), and +3, +2, +1 votes for participating in other categories.
Finalists will also have a symbolic vote gift, +13 votes for making it to the finals of their chosen category, +11 votes for the tutorial finals, and respectively +6, +4 and +2 if they make it to more categories.
Winners will also have a symbolic vote gift, +19 votes for winning their chosen category, +17 if they win the tutorial race, and +9, +6, +3 if they win more categories.
These votes will be dispensed after the competition event and be valid from that moment on, not before.

Founders:
Virtual Universe: zero votes (I'd rather help in other ways, virtualuniverse.the at gmail)
Shqep Palla: zero votes (can't deflate that, shqepalla at gmail)
Nathan Fisher: zero votes (the Treasurer, youtube.com/NatesTurn)
Rubin Gurabardhi: zero votes (will do a website redesign if there comes a need for it, facebook.com/maidiremsn)

Since this is a human-to-human collaboration project, votes are less important than actually brainstorming and bringing forth something worthy, rewarding in more ways than just dropping a preference on a project.
