We should also start collecting proposals to give some handy ideas to the developers.

Feel free to check the proposals from last year (http://wiki.maemo.org/MeeGo_Coding_C...ation_proposal) and edit the new wiki page accordingly (http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_coding_competition_2012)...

Hm, yes. How many developers are still around maemo.org?

I think that N900 X-Ray thread is one of my favorites on maemo.org :p And this follow up thread n900 xray is it real??? too .. in fact maybe we should have a category where the winner is the application that generates the best threads with the most ridiculous replies :D

Wooohoo... :D
Thanks, kojacker. You made my day. This is what every developer wants to read. :D
So, have I created a useful application? A ridiculous feedback app. Perhaps it could fit next time into the toolkit category! ;)

Have a look at this wiki and this thread already created by qgil. http://talk.maemo.org/image.php?u=76...ine=1242253668 :D

So perhaps we could point to this thread at our coding competition wiki and keep it clean only for our competition.

Hm, looks more like a "it exists already somewhere else and it is needed to port it to the N9"-wiki.
Here is my try to collect some new ideas: [SURVEY:] What kind of Applications are you missing at the N900?

Old and N900 related, but perhaps still helpful for some N9 developers...

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Hello there!

I'm glad coding competition is so advanced in preparations.

Don't get this as hostile or whatsnot, but I would like to mention again, that, to my best knowledge, seeding activity as a whole have 40 N950's and 60 N9's. We have 4 categories - 2 governed by qgil, 1 by CC team, and 1 by Council.

As for category governed by Council - Community Awards - 1/4 of devices pool, which means 10 N950's and 15 N9/s is a bare minimum. So, if you want to assign more than 10 N950's to CC, You need to get lacking ones from QT5 and Nokia store category, governed by qgil - of course, if he agrees.

Please, take it into consideration, when working on categories.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

I added a description of the voting process to the 2012 Coding Competition Wiki page. It would be nice if you could review what I wrote. If you find discrepancies or some things are unclear I think it's best to publicly discuss this here.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_codi...on_2012#Voting

Thanks :)

Edit: To avoid confusion, I did this on request by zehjotkah. ;)

At the moment we have 10 categories. That means we need 10 N950 and at least 10 N9s, which is exactly the amount we should get.
The "spare" 5 N9s could be distributed among the categories with the most submissions.

I think that's perfect. Thanks a lot!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

As said, the Coding Competition has priority deciding how many N950/N9 they want. I just need a number.

Ops, I must've miss-read it. Excuse me, and thanks for such cooperation.

As CC is going to get prizes as last category, You can be sure, that - in case of any unassigned devices (it probably won't be a case for Community awards, but You can't be sure), we will surely re-allocate them to CC, so there is a chance for some bonus prizes :)

If CC could sue any help from Council, feel free to contact me or other Councilors. I hope everyone know, that we're playing on same team :)

100 devices please! :D
Then everyone will win! Cause I don't think we will get more than 100 brand new apps.
