We are coming to a close on what has become one of the most amazing internet projects I have ever seen. It started as a simple idea – let’s get a few folks to encourage each other to write original music. One song a month for twelve months. I expected a few dozen entries by perhaps five or six people.
Instead, we now have over 400 original songs written for the project and dozens of people who went the whole 12 already… I’m simply speechless.
So now it’s time for phase 2. Nominations of our favorites and selecting 12 to go on the first disk. Obviously, no one human could be expected to watch them all in one sitting – but I have seen each and every one as they have come in, and expect others have done the same. Still – it’s around 24 hours straight of video. So we need to have you nominate your favorites – or your own to cut down the list a bit. 2 nominations per person should get us to a manageable list from which we can select our 12 favs.
Which leads me to what we need to get this done. I can manage some of it – but this is now too big for one guy. I can pay for the hosting and manage the project, but could use a couple more pairs of hands for a few weeks. I don't suspect it would be more than a few hours work.
1) Graphic design – We need a simple logo and web design
2) Web developer – PHP, windows, I don’t care. I need a little help setting up the voting site
Let me know if you want to assist. Not only can we end this one with a huge bang – but I’m already planning next year’s challenge!
