The timetable for the competition is the following: The competitions begins on Tuesday, 1st of November, and will be running for 3 months until Tuesday 31st of January 2016. You can enroll into the competition at any time, however, all the entries for the competition must be submitted no later than by 23:59 on Tuesday, 31st of January(UTC time).

Re: [Council] Coding Competition 2016
 

I would love to participate since I still have my n900 and n9....just need to set up my pc for development..... :S

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

If I have not released any app for any Mer-based platform but have released apps for Fremantle and Harmattan, do I count as a beginner or not? [the meaning of the conjuction or]

Reuploaded the files. If the links are down, new links will only be provided through pm.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

This totally describes the urgency and demand of maemo devices :(
Do you still collect the money? I'd like to donate some bitcoins.

//EDIT: found it: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=95856

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Yes, bitcoins are welcome.
Up to now we have got just one bitcoin-valued donation :)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

This is interesting, I will find some hardware to donate.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

How do submissions work - do I announce an entry now, or wait until I have finished coding?

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

If you already have somethng to show, you could announce early. Otherwice I suggest you do it later.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

juiceme is right. There are some advantages to announcing early, such as you maybe get more feedback and you get an opportunity to improve your entry before the competition deadline.

I don't think there are any disadvantages to announcing early in fact - even if you don't have any code and only want to talk about a specification. We have an edge case of someone doing it and being unable to collaborate and becoming a competitor in a way, and you would have to start from scratch with another idea or struggle to make a 'better' implementation, but I wouldn't worry about this - our people are kind and usually willing to collaborate and give credit when due, and we have a massive wishlist so there's plenty of ideas to work on.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Can one submit more than one application?
Pun intended.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Yes, please, apply all you desire! :p

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Nice new icon! :cool:
Hopefully attracts some more developers...

[1] AirSail Transfer is my first code contribution to the Maemo/Meego/SailfishOS community, however I am an experienced coder, so in the interest of fairness I am happy to move my application to the "Something New" category.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

I will donate my remaining N900 ,
I would like this as a gratitude to the members and staff on this forUm, who have all been of great support in my personal life, but also for other great forum members.

You may want to check haveibeenpawned.com
For even more info on breached data,

After subscribing to notifications (verifying your email) you can see the data breached from github on haveibeenpawned.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

I have never heard of them and was curious so I checked it out.

What an interesting concept: "Here we are, an unknown group/clan/organization/whatever you have never heard about. Why don't you give us your email and we will tell you if your privacy has been breached."

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Oh! But you are a bit off.
Troy Hunt is not just any person I assure you.
He is well known. Accepted and acknowledged in security.
Comparable to Brian Krebs and other great guys.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Thanks. Comparison with another name I have never heard before complete :D

I live to learn.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

If you are concerned about security and privacy, you need to look at at least these two guys. ;)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

As much as appreciated and healthy for the CC funds, I urge you to think twice about that:
Do you really want to get rid of such master piece?

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Thank you, I have done so[1], and neither my domain nor my emails are listed.

I was quite alarmed when I initially read your message. I assume your message was intended as a precaution, as opposed to you having found some leaked data?

[1] I'm aware of Troy Hunt's history of good work

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Meant like precaution, yes.
Good to hear you weren't listed in that breach :)

Application submission: OSM Scout for Sailfish OS
 

Application submission: OSM Scout for Sailfish OS

- Project: OSM Scout for Sailfish OS
- Description: Offline map application. It supports map view, location search and listing of near addresses now.
- Author: Me ( <lukas.karas@cenrum.cz>, GitHub , OpenRepos ), core osmscout library is developed by Tim Teulings and others
- Category: Fixing/Updating
- Features/work to be judged:

- I added support for offline search from start of the competition. Core library already support it, I just improve QML model and created Silica UI.
- My plan it to create map downloader and offline navigation. But I will see if I finish these features before deadline.

- Package and repository: You can found it in Jolla Harbour or in OpenRepos
- License: LGPL for C++ library; GPL for QML UI

Re: Application submission: OSM Scout for Sailfish OS
 

What about maemo/meego?

Re: Application submission: OSM Scout for Sailfish OS
 

Sorry, this application is just for SailfishOS, because it depends on Silica UI components. But I hope that my improvements of Qt API (multitouch support for map component, asynchronous search model...) will be merged to upstream library (libosmscout). Then porting to new platforms will require just creating new QML UI.

this is good but i would like to input some suggesion as opposed to entering geeky ip's in web browser can it be translated to some cuter short alphabetical adresses that can be spoken once and the client understands it and happily inputs the adress without second questions. :)
thanks

The deadline is the end of January, right? I'm trying to finish getting all my updates to Saera ported over to the N9 and N900 before I submit.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

I really hope to get a simple Qt application done for fremantle too but good documentation is actually not that easy to find.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

will be possible to share files? thanks anyway really like it

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

It already runs very well. But there are some issues I have to address before makeing a first package release. The app will hit openrepos at end of january. If you won't wait until then, there is a little Readme on the github page of how to build the app for SFOS. It's not that hard :cool:...

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Great apps! Shmoose: why not as telepathy plugin? Docker: anything to make development easier is good. Saera: colourful, wish it wasn't in Python, tried it a very long time ago... GPXSee: neat, elevation and speed of a track...

Thank you. Good day, good night, and good luck.
