Re: 2012 Coding Competition
Indeed :) We'll grab that extra one and it gives us a great mix of devices, and there's a possibility for more if we need it :cool:

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
I think you'd have good chances of swapping in the Qt5 device program. Most of the participants in there seem to prefer N9. On the other hand, I think N950 will be highly appreciated as a community...

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
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...

The mp award only takes away from the competition that is designed to benefit Maemo devices and to provide quality 'apps'(I can't stand that word) to the community. The...

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
