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 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

Wooohoo...

Thanks, kojacker. You made my day. This is what every developer wants to read.

So, have I created a useful application? A ridiculous feedback app. Perhaps it could fit next time into the toolkit category!

I would say no need to do so.

Have a look at this wiki and this thread already created by qgil.

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...

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.

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.

Thanks

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

Because of your concern some pages ago, I came up with the idea to have one N950 and at least one N9 per category.
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.

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!

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