# I was thinking we could do a b3ta Advent Calendar

THE QUESTION IS HOW?
obviously there are 25 windows to fill. The thing is, it would be good for each days window to be a suprise.
That's the point at which I am stumped.
How would we pick the images/gif/links?
Also. I am clueless how you would build a page for the calendar.
Any ideas on a post card.Or is it a shit idea?
EDIT: Gaz me if if do come up with any ideas, I'm sure there must be a simple solution to the conumdrum. also if anyone knows how to get it up to the higher powers of b3ta if it does take off.

# Pick 25 people. Everyone is allocated a day. Make picture.
25 page PDF or a magic swf.

# Alternatively a simple dynamic webpage where links to the images/whatever are updated each day.

# Haha, I was certainly not expecting to be presented with "Delhi College of Engineering" upon clicking that.

# I'd send an idea
But I don't know what B3ta's postal address is. And possibly Christmas strikes and all...

The idea could work though.

# Funner idea. 24 people are picked. Everyone else can group together to make a big Christmas day collab picture.

# That's the thing
all the stuff here is voted for by us so if there are 25 pics how do we vote without seeing then and spoiling the suprise?
hence do you do a kind of yearly retrospective or what?

# hmm,yes
point taken, it could be a giggle though, could we have an image challenge that, say, rob,or the b3ta/image challenge gods could vote on?

# You'd have to get 25 people to agree in advance to post their image on their day, maybe with a certain advent calendar-themed border
But some people would fuck up.

Perhaps if you limited it only to regulars.
