Nice words, thanks.

I hope you can understand that's a non-starter

I've proposed 2 possibilities :
- create a "hors-concours"/"special system softwares" category. Ok, it is not possible due to the timing of the "Coding Competition" (already started and rules fixed);
- the 3 cited authors participate in "Coding Competition", being accepted in "Updates to existing application" category. If so, I suggested to increase the number of devices for this categories from 3 to 4-5 devices.

I've already talked a lot with the council in some TMO topics. There is no solution being proposed from the council to solve the issues of eyes, isnotabigtruck and qole not receiving a award device.

But I am contacting qgil about another personal and partial solution.

Yeah, I know, thanks.

I will try to convince eyes, isnotabigtruck and qole to participate in the "Coding Competition".

Please, as council members, let you all refrain to write provocative statements.

I am trying to give a solution without your (council) help, so please at least don't disturb it.

No, it would be a non-democratic act. The purpose of this topic is valid and needed.

But I am contacting qgil about another personal and partial solution.

So here is my solution, I am donating/diverting my Nokia N9 (award from "New Apps for Nokia Store" activity due to "SymPy Interactive Shell" software) to itsnotabigtruck :

Topic "Donating (award) devices to eyes, isnotabigtruck and qole ?"

If possible anybody (from "Community Awards" or "Coding Competition") could help to exchange the N9 for a N950, as a N950 was the preference of itsnotabigtruck.

And feel free to donate to eyes and qole, they need a N950 and N9, respectively.

i thought abill_uk was the biggest *** on these boards.

Turns out I was wrong - a bigger *** is on the council itself

Sorry abill_uk - you gotta hand over the turd crown now
