As we here at Flatsourcing are big fans of GitHub and recommend it as our code hosting repository of choice for most clients, I thought it would be worthwhile to pass along some info on their 2009 contest.

For your chance to win a bottle of 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon AND a free large GitHub account for life, just follow their simple contest guidelines:

The contest is pretty simple. You download our sample data which includes a file containing which users are watching which repositories, and a file listing 4,788 of those users. Then you write a program to recommend up to 10 repositories for each of the test users. You get a point for each time one of your guesses was an entry we removed.

For more on the contest check out the official GitHub contest page.
For more information on how we use GitHub and our process, give us a shout and we’ll be happy to help.
