What happens if Nokia Store and Qt 5 activities participants prefer N9 in higher numbers than initially planned? Should we stick to the numbers agreed (15 N9 / 10 N950) for each anyway or do the Comunity Awards and/or the Code Competition welcome more N950s?

The coding competition would welcome another n950 if possible. The initial proposal for the competition revolved around the idea of 10 categories which was a perfect fit for the 10 N950s the equal share would give us. Since then, there's been a consensus to lower the amount of categories and we're finding it harder to share the 10 out more evenly. The last proposal for categories and device split we had was roughly:
1. Desktop, System & Utilities (2 N950, 2 N9)
2. Games, Graphics & Multimedia (2 M950, 2 N9)
3. Network & Communications (2 N950, 2 N9)
4. Location & Navigation (2 N950, 2 N9)
5. Other (2 N950, 2 N9)
6. Updates to existing apps (3 N9)
7. Beginners (made up of entries from categories 1-5) (2 N9)
However we have had feedback from beginners that they are a little disappointed that, although they can compete for 2 N950s in each category, that we haven't got a N950 specificaly dedicated to the beginners prize. So i promised i would reach out and ask if it would be possible at this late stage to swap one of out N9 allocation for another n950.. is that something we could still do?
i think it would be really appreciated by new developers as the N950 is very aspirational for them. If it's not possible, we'll understand and look to juggle the categories/device split a little more. Looking at the wiki for the community awards it appears that so far there are 8 requesting n950 only, 19 requesting n9, and 18 happy with either - perhaps a swap in this case would be mutually beneficial?

No, just no.
The N950 is a highly desirable device. Why should the number of hoops and jumps to clear to win be lowered just so a beginner can aspire to have a device he cannot target his appz to?
To say the N950s are prizes for the big boys only is like saying the gold medals at the Olympics are for the big boys only.
Think about it.
