The Jetpack 0.6 Contest Starts Now

With the release of Jetpack 0.6 just days ago, we are happy to announce a contest in its honor. The contest starts today and ends on the 13th of December. For the developer who creates the most awesome Jetpack that uses less than 50 lines of code, we are offering a brand new netbook (the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE). We’ll be sending the runner-up a big package of Mozilla swag.

With so many neat Jetpacks on the Jetpack Gallery already, the competition should be fun and lively. And, naturally, you do get special bonus points for using the APIs debuted in Jetpack 0.6 APIs.

Here are the details:

• The contest ends lasts until the 13th of December.
• Your Jetpack should be less than 50-lines of code. White space, trailing brackets, and comments don’t count in your total line numbers. This is a loose rule (lines of code are hard to count) so play fair. Pulling in 3rd party libraries and services are par for the course. For an example of a 14-line Jetpack see Mozilla Labs’s Image Editor Jetpack.

Mozilla Labs is a virtual lab where people come together online to create, experiment and play with Web innovations for the public benefit. The easiest way to get involved, get the source code, and get creating is to visit the Jetpack homepage.
