(Mods: If this is not allowed, please delete/lock this post)
Okay all, I know that in the grand scheme of things, having what I have is not huge, but I wanted it to go somewhere where it would be appreciated.
I am a member of the AWS Customer Council. They send me surveys and the like about our experience with AWS (I work in AWS Daily as a DevOps Architect and AWS Security and Compliance Specialist). For appreciation, they send me AWS Credits to do with as I please. These range anywhere from $25 to $100 or more.
I am currently sitting on a $100 AWS Credit that I have absolutely NO USE for. Yes, I know I can give it to the company I work for, but because of Compliance Requirements and the line of business we are in, we are not able to accept these donations.
SO... what I would like to do is find an enterprising developer here on XDA that can use the credits for something useful for the community.
If you are an active developer and can use these credits, please either reply here or send me a DM with your project details and I'll make a decision as to where to send it.
Thanks and look forward to giving this to someone who can use it!

I am a student doing an Interdisciplinary project as part of the Scottish Baccalaureate.
The aim of my project is to determine whether mobile application development is a sustainable business.
I will be needing some figures in terms amount of applications sold and the amount of monthly profit, if possible (average).
There will also be a section in my report which includes a detailed comparison between the trends of people buying applications, whether they are more likely to buy or just download the free app, and also the possibility of them buying a PRO version of the app.
All information provided might be used in my report, none will be given to any third parties.
My final report on my project has the possibility of being published in a research journal depending on the quality of it.
Any developer interested in taking part in this, and helping me please send me a message.
Please include your developer name (Android market, or Apple)
The name of your app/s you wish to include in this research
Your name on XDA
Also just send me a message or post here if you have any questions about my project.

Can a cooperative social networking site that allocates shares between users take on Facebook? Zurker's founder Nick Oba thinks so.
Zurker's USP is that users are "coowners and investors" in the platform. By joining Zurker and inviting your friends, you get issued with "vShares". A vShare is a virtual share which you can monitor on your profile. You can buy additional vShares for $1 (£0.62) and one vShare is the equivalent to ownership of 1/1,000,000th of the Zurker in your territory -- eg Zurker UK or Zurker USA.
The project isn't promising anyone to break the bank or turn into a millionaire overnight. Zurker just gives that opportunity, but it doesn't promise anything. On the other hand, the chances for making some good money with Zurker are not bad and the uniqueness of the project makes everyone succeed together.
So, In a way Zurker promises to award you real shares and a chance to earn some free money if it ever strikes gold.

Hey guys!
My name is Tobias Gawrisch and I'm a student of social science / sociology at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. I'm now starting with my master thesis and for that I want to do some research about what motivates programmers to work on open source software and other free software projects. Most people studying economics will say that money is the driving motivator in our economy but I think that especially the open source community is a fine example of people being motivated to work without the prospect of earning a lot of money with their work. This hypothesis is the basis for a short Web Survey in order to get some first hand data about the reason why programmers are "working for free". It will take about 10 min. max. and is, of course, completely anonymous. And I'll be glad to provide all my outcomes afterwards.
I would really appreciate your help in this matter, this would boost my master thesis a lot!
Here is the link to the survey: www (dot) soscisurvey (dot) de (slash) codesharingmotivation (I'm sorry but as a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links. This post has permission from the Administrators, so maybe a moderator could alter this link to be clickable?)
This is an open survey, so please feel free to share it with everyone you see fit. I need as many participants as possible to get valid data.
I took the liberty to ask up front if it would be OK to post such a survey in this forum and received permission for that after using the contact form from the Administrators. This is a solely academic survey.
Regards,
Tobias Gawrisch
Just wanted to have a short shout out to everyone, half of the time for my survey has passed and I really need more participants, so please take part in this survey and pass it on to everyone you see fit! You would really help me out!
Regards,
Tobias

That brings me to my two requests, recommendations, suggestions or how you want to call it; however, it all depends on YOUR personal choice:

Thanks very much for listening - and we hope that you got your devices soon unlocked without any problems.

Search this forum. There are two respective threads available.
I work as a publisher to post exclusive things for freeIf I have an apple and you have an apple, we both have one apple, and if I give you my apple and you give me yours, we each have an apple and nothing changes But if I had an idea and you had an idea and I gave you my idea and I took your idea from you, then each of us has two ideas. This is the rule by which I live.
Greetings and welcome to XDA. Please take a moment to review the Forum Rules. XDA thrives on the sharing of ideas; however, we must be respectful of each others' work. Therefore, I would like to point out some specific items:
12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
12.2. Courtesy - While most of the work released on our site falls under the umbrella of open source, that is not the only license model being used by developers on xda-developers. In order to prevent problems, we ask that if you decide to base your work on someone else's that you check the license model being used (as it might not be as permissive as one may think);
12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last. As this can be subjective, kang reports will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you feel that your code has been kanged, please contact the Dev Relations team (listed below) if you cannot solve the issue amicably via PM. Please understand that you will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate your claim;

As a rule of thumb, it's always good form to ask permission before you use someone else's idea or work. If you take my idea without asking, I'm not going to be particularly happy about it, even if you gave me one of yours.
Additionally, please review the XDA GPL Policy. Compliance with all forum rules and policies is mandatory and non-negotiable.
