Secret Santa Folks, the invitations have been sent! You will receive an email very shortly to join the group. As long as you do not answer this email, the draw will not be done. So please be quick

@Mast I hope you're writing code like if the next person to maintain it were ~~a violent psychopath that knows where you live~~ your Secret Santa!

So in short:
1) Your Secret Santa may or may not send a message to you
2) If they do, they can only send 1 message until you respond to that message via the link emailed to you
3) Once you respond, then they may send another message

Q: Code Review's Secret Santa 2015

To celebrate our first graduated Christmas (and because we feel like it), some members of the 2nd monitor thought it would be a good idea to make a Secret Santa between members of Code Review! The rules are quite simple : You will send an email to [email protected] to register....

The whole reason nobody has done this before it's because it's a PITA to manage. Being CR users, we do it anyway and try to find the best method along the road.

@TopinFrassi how is that different from SE swag? :D

but everyone without write access can feel "not part of the club" and somewhat excluded from a sub-community, which is the part I'm not sure I like

I'll create an email address where we can send our emails to create the secret santa pick. Sadly, I don't have access to gmail at work, because they're weird. So I'll do it tonight!

They get you down with the basics, afterwards you need to learn how the professionals do it.

@DanPantry I recently brought a big O'Reilly book about Python to work. Horrified faces. Thing weighs at least two pounds and is a thousand pages thick or so.

A part of me likes how so far everyone has received physical books and not ebooks. It's just not the same :D

Technically it's not CR doing Secret Santa. It's a bunch of regulars who got the idea to have a Secret Santa. We so happen to be regular on CR, but it has nothing to do with CR.

The trick with shipping costs is to order near the receiver instead of near the sender.
