__TOC__
== What is a Starling? ==
Starlings are people who are interested in free software projects who have successfully completed a Starling Bounty.
Starling Bounties are clear, focused guides for new contributors to do something useful in an existing free software project. We want to turn people who love using free software into budding contributors, our own little OpenHatchlings on their way to becoming rising stars of free software!
== Can I see an example? ==
Line 12 ⟶ 16:
* See their [http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/second-fedora-design-bounty-ninja-identified/ most recent success story]
== What we offer you ==
* The completion of one task, usually squashing of some bug.
* Hopefully at least one contributor who will stick around.
* Exposure to potential contributors, along with the information needed to learn how to contribute.
In exchange, we need some help and commitment from you.
== How to get a project involved ==
Line 31 ⟶ 41:
If this sounds like fun, email us at ''starling@openhatch.org''.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
Q. '''Is there a prize for Starlings?'''
A. The prizes:
* They will be featured on a page of successful starlings.
* We want there to be some ''clear'' benefit within the project -- perhaps commit access, or at least an email to the -devel list with congratulations.
* Their contribution should have a visible impact for users that they can be proud of.
* They will have earned their wings as from a free software supporter to a contributor. That warm and fuzzy feeling.
* Anything your project would like to offer.
* Maybe we can/should send them chocolate and a congrats card (drawn by Karen)?
* Your idea here
== Round one ==
Danny Piccirillo and Asheesh are launching this effort in what we call:
* '''[[Starling/Round1|Starling Round 1]]'''
