I mean, different ringtone per each individual contact.
Haven't started the app yet though, as I have other things to do.

Couldn't the two of you merge those affords then? I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be happy to have both functionalities in a single interface. I know I would, at least... :D

Right now we have several initiatives around the qt mobility contacts package (mine, Eitam's Horizontal-call, ...). I don't know if Venemo's will be based on the same "platform".

It is only natural that some will merge at some point... But I don't think we can coordinate this effort just yet ... Maybe after we have the initial releases and get enough community feedback on the features that matter most we can elect a "base platform" and start merging the extra features... I would like that, we all can benefit from a enhanced phone/contacts application.

Are you planing on using qt/qt mobility? Do you have any plans on where you are going to store the contact/ring tone information? Maybe we can, at least, share ideas/experiences.

It's only dawned on me.. but we are now officially into the last month of the contest! Time is seriously flying. Leaving a week for tidying up and packaging, that's 3 weeks solid dev time.

We've still no word on an official maemo.org paypal account. To be fair, we have waited quite a while for news or updates. We might be waiting for nothing, so to get the show on the road let's ask zehjotkah if he's still up for being competition treasurer. If anything changes we can always transfer the bounty over to an official account later, if one should be made.

Also please let me know if you have any ideas for sharing out the bounty. I had a good chat about it on the irc earlier. If I don't hear anything I'll just have to make a decision on it for better or worse, so here's the chance to speak up :)

We're now up to 3,598 views on the wiki and a few more projects have been added since I last checked, which is cool :cool:

As a reminder to myself, fake's store hasn't reopened yet.. I need to get in touch with him to make sure I can get the lazer cut stands I promised as part of the beginners bounty.

Hope all's been going well with everyone's projects. Helex and noobmonkey, did you ever get that QtMultimedia mic problem sorted out? Hope so.

Edit:
Oh JereM, I haven't forgotten about you and your holidays. If I remember right, NetStory has already been packaged right? I'm asking because if entries are to be packaged I want to make sure you're ok with how to do that before you go away, but if I remember right you're well on top of all that. If you want to write a few bits about NetStory like in the Wiki's entry.txt section, leaving off the paypal address if you prefer, and maybe take a couple of screen shots, Im sure you'll be well covered for the entry. And if I grab those bits and pieces from you I'll be able to update the entry/judging thread on your behalf.

No, sorry. Perhaps noobmonkey, but I myself gave up with python and QtMultimedia. It seems to work with C++ and Qt. So I installed Qt but I stucked with the Emulator (sometimes it worked, sometimes not) and had problems to get Madde running. It's now more than a week ago and I had no time to get familar with the tool.

I looked for a good C++ book at amazon (I know only how to program ANSI-C, Visual Basic 6/.NET, 386 Assembler and since 2 month fundamental python (PyQt4/Qt4.6)) but I wait with the order until I get the development framework proper runnung and until I have enought time to learn again a new programming language.

bah.. sounds frustrating :(

Is there going to be "entry/judging thread" for each application or just one for the whole competition?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] The First N900 Coding Competition! 21st May-21st July. Open to all!
 

Hello,

I have just started my first application. I write it on C (I have never used it before), because g++ couldn't be installed on N900 (it requires gcc, and I have only gcc-4.2, if I understand right).

The Wiki Page
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...mo_application

is frustrating. It seems to have elements from Maemo 4 Diablo (like callbacks file), so I just have to use the source code here:
https://vcs.maemo.org/svn/maemoexamp...mopad-window.c

and still it's difficult to understand.
For instance, why give the names to buttons as "New", "Save", etc, if GTK_STOCK_NEW and others give these standard labels (and maybe, even automatically translate themselves into needed language, I don't know)?

I cannot hope I finish in time; I'm not even sure I'll finish at all.

Well, I plan to use Qt, yes.
I was thinking about checking eSpeakCaller's source, and instead of playing espeak voices, just plainly play the file specified as ringtone.

Since it is not possible to extend the contacts app (or I don't know of a way), I wanted to create a control panel app for this.

If you already started the project, I'd rather jump in than create my own. So, if any collaborations are welcome, I'll be glad to help out.
(PM me about the details.)
