We are Resin.io, you can be anywhere.
We will offer £500 each to two projects that use Node.js on a Raspberry Pi. The resulting code should be open-sourced on GitHub but we do not require transferring ownership to us. The amount may not be much but may be a good extra incentive if you were looking to do a cool side-project with JS and hardware over the holidays.
Proposals should be sent to project at resin dot io. We will respond within a week and you'll have until the end of the year to complete the project. Projects will be judged based on how original the idea is. Bonus points for using more than one Raspberry Pi for the end result. If you offer to document your process and/or blog about it, we'll be even happier.
As mentioned, the resulting code will remain yours and you can keep evolving it (or not) as you please after the end of the project. We simply want to encourage cool JS projects on embedded devices. Some examples: http://ni-c.github.io/heimcontrol.js/ , http://googlecreativelab.github.io/coder/ .
