I don't see Destroid in the list

http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Coding_C...1#Participants

Could he add himself here? Or should I do it? His game gets positive reviews, and it would be a pity if it didn't enter the competition because of not being in the table.

destroid has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore I may not send your message to him/her.

P.S. I'm going to add it to the table. EDIT: Added. I'm going to write him down as beginner: I haven't seen any evidence of other application developed by him. Written down. All correct?

So it's not required to be a newbie in programming in general to enter the beginners competition? Just that it's the first N900 app?

SallyJane: I've got two donations from you, each 20,00€. So in total 40,00€.
Is that correct?

Hey guys!

I'm just writing to let you know: Sticky Notes has just received a significant update. :)
I hope this will bring it better chances in the competition.
I implemented all of the sensible feaure requests, only two of them remain.

It's not finished, as much as I wanted to be by this day, but time flies... :(

I've already entered by PM; Here's the public entry announcement.

I''ve entered with two projects:


First is "Reaction face-off", which I wrote in the first week of July and which is finished except for one bug.

• "A fast-paced 2-player game that puts your reflexes, knowledge and brainpower to the test."
• The package is in testing: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ceoff/0.0.1-3/
• Forum thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58147
• Screenshot for voting thread: http://stuff.moritzg.ch/2010-07-12-2...x480_scrot.png

Second one is "Alarmed", which I began writing before May, but which was under constant development and has seen it's 0.2.0 release in June. It's pretty much finished.

• "A 'cron-like' GUI scheduling and automation app for many common and custom actions"
• The package is in devel: http://maemo.org/packages/view/alarmed/
• Forum thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46594
• Screenshot for voting thread: http://stuff.moritzg.ch/Screenshot-20100606-172544.png

Since the beginning of May, the following Additions had been made to Alarmed:

• 0.1.9-1/2:Cleaned up dependencies, no more boost! Pyside ftw.
• 0.1.9-1/2: Added bluetooth switch
• 0.1.9-1/2: Added saving/loading presets for command line execution events!
• 0.1.9-3/4: GPRS counter reset fixed, resets both home and roaming at the same time.
• 0.1.9-5: Switched around alarm buttons and added info message to alarm dialog.
• 0.1.9-6: Improved list layout (no more sideways scrolling)
• 0.2.0-1: You can now toggle (enable and disable) events instead of having to delete them!

Welcome aboard Gryllida! :)

And a big welcome to you too, MartinK :) I dont think I received your PM though, could you try sending it again? I see you've added your details onto the wiki so you're all good to go but I'd like to get whatever was in the pm off you :)

It's good of you to help out, Wikiwide, earlier in the thread he said he'd like to join in. But I dont think we can automatically add him to the beginners competition. We don't know what his background is, he may have been involved in other projects and doesnt consider himself a beginner. I notice you said you tried to pm but couldnt, could you possibly make a message to him in his thread? Im going to remove the 'Y' in the meantime, destroid if you're eligible and want to join in the beginner comp feel free to put it back in there :) You'd be very welcome :)

Good question helihyv, and the answer is pretty much. There's no real way to police is someone has previous coding experience on other platforms. For the purposes of the rules of the comp, it's new to the N900 platform. The spirit of the competition is to bring new developers and apps to the N900.

Thanks dude, adding you to the list next chance i get....

Hmm.. sounds like Sally might have sent it twice in error, probably best not to accept that second donation until we know for sure.. we definitely dont want to take advantage of any errors.. Sally can you let me or Cosimo know? :)
