Some circumstances forced me to write this application and I like it so much that I need to release a preview, to see how many are interested and if it makes sense to improve the application or leave it for my needs.
I want to improve it! Now I am addicted. Any chance to jump in?
Hi Halfux, from the date on your announce thread it looks like you released your genwall application last week - it should be absolutely fine for the competition

New apps are those made within the competition timeline, so most of our applications will be released after the competition started. Don't worry about that at all. Those that released before, but that have signicant updates, have a special update category for themselves.

Best thing to do is have a look over the wiki, make sure you're happy with the rules etc, pick a category, and add yourself and genwall onto the list. Any questions just let us know.

Thank you for your replay. That is nice to hear. This brings me to another question.
I have seen that genwall seems a trademark for exterior wall systems (outer facades) so I think I need to change the name because of violating a law. Is that right?

*Edit: I think I need to ask the company what is included in the trademark only the logo or if it is also the word "genwall".

hey Halftux, hmm.. i don't know very much about trademarks so I really can't advise you on this. However I think you would be really unlucky if a exterior wall company was to make legal trouble for you over your ip table/firewall application.. but stranger things have happened I guess I think it's different if you were trying to pretend you were that company, or somehow you were using their company name for the benefit of your application. That's not the issue in this case, ofcourse, your application has nothing to do with exterior walling So I'd leave it up to you to decide how to proceed. Depending on how popular Genwall the company is, it might be beneficial to give your application a slightly different name to help your users search for it/find it on search engines etc.

But honestly I don't know what I'm talking about, so maybe someone else with legal knowlege can advise here

Community members are sent a token (using the same mechanism as for the Council elections) and are asked to vote for their favourite submissions in each category.

The competition is arguably the most open of the community device distribution programs, in that it's the maemo.org members themselves who will decide the winners. Except for me, I can't vote (before anyone asks ) And each community member will probably have their own criteria for judging, depending on what is most important for them. You'll also have a vote, rash.m2k, so try to think what is important for you - maybe that will help you judge the mood of the community

I'd like to ask about the beginner entries: is the "first app" treated as any app for Maemo (console too), or GUI app?

hi marmistrz, we can't discriminate based on if the application has a GUI or not. So the beginners rule applies to the first released application.

If you think about the reasoning behing the beginner category, we understand that it takes a while to get the development environment set up and to start learning the coding platform, as well as figure out how to package, test, upload the finished application etc. It's also to encourage first time developers to take part who feel they wouldn't have the same chances against more experienced developers. So it's not really about the type of application, if that makes sense
