Who is worthy of this honor?

To nominate someone, you must give at least a brief reasoning behind why they should be nominated.

More rules and policies are below.

Nominate the best and the brightest!

From the [H]ard|DCer of the Month - FAQ and [H]all of fame:

Q: What is the [H]ard|DCer of the Month?

Every month, the team gets a chance to choose someone they thought contributed greatly to the team, and give them a bit of recognition for it. At the beginning of each month, a nomination thread is held. Here is your chance to nominate whoever you think deserves recognition. Someone can be nominated for any reason. It does not matter if they designed some massive piece of software to help the team in some way, or simply added a few boxen to ramp up their production.

Q: How do things work?

Nominations are held for 10 days starting on the 1st of each month. The nominated people move onto a poll and the Poll will be open for 10 days following the end of the nomination thread. The remaining part of the month is reserved for congratulating the winner and have fun. Same as before, vote for whoever you want, for whatever reaons you want. If there is a tie, a runoff will be held. After the winner is chosen, they are interviewed so the entire team can see what makes them tick.

For the [H]ard|DCer of the Year, there is no nominations thread because the only worthy candidates is the [H]ard|DCer of the Month winners for the current year. The poll to choose a winner is done in 2 steps : The first poll will include all 12 winners for the current year and we select only the best 4 winners which will participate in the next round. If there is a tie in the first 4 ranks, the tie winners will move together. In the second round, the one with the most votes will be declared the winner but if there is a tie, a runoff vote will be held. Each step will last 10 days.

Q: What does the winner get as prize?

Being that there is no cash flow funding the [H]ard|DCer award, there is only so much we can do in the way of prizes The [H]|DCers do not have a physical prize, but thanks to Kyle and the rest of the gang, we still have something to give winners. All winners will receive a custom title showing off their achievement.

Q: Are there any rules for this?

Past winners cannot be nominated until one full year after they last won.

You cannot nominate yourself.

Hard DCer of the Year winners are excluded forever.

Any contestation or question about the nomination thread should be done via PM.

I think anyone who shines (from zero to hero) during the upcoming BOINC pentathlon. Not necessary the biggest contributor ;)

What about you Pocatello? Care to help [H]ard|OCP team? :whistle:

Edit: can the nomination stay open until the day after the pentathlon (May 19)?
 
pututu , if you promise to make some nominations I can hold the nomination thread open until later in May.
 
Pocatello , sure I'll make a nomination after the pent and perhaps you can give the team a helping hand too.
 
Pocatello , as promised the pentathlon has just completed and I'm nominating applejacks and rgMekanic for their die hard participation in this year pent event. Also I think the rest of the other pentathletes also deserved nominations.

Since we are almost at the end of the month and the Jun nomination will start soon, suggest two nominations for the DCOTM awards: one for the month of May and Jun. Anyone here second my motion and let Pocatello has the final say after that?
 
Thanks for the two nominations pututu. I am not sure what you mean for this month and next month. I am all about efficiency. Should we vote now with our two nominations? Or did you have something else in mind?

Yes, winner for this upcoming vote will be the two deserving pentathletes taking the title of DCOTM May 2023 and DCOTM Jun 2023. Since you need 10 days for the nomination period (after the pent) and 10 more days for voting (usually), let us vote for two people. Thanks!
 
I see no reason not to give the first place winner the May title and the second place winner the June title.

Nominations are still open. Nominations are always open until they are closed. We only have two nominations at this point.

I am leaving for two weeks starting early tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

Maybe I am a little slow today... are we voting this month or not? I don't understand about voting for two. Are we taking the top two nominees as the winners? Are we voting at all if we only have two nominees? Are we putting off the voting until mid-June?
