Keeping my fingers crossed! Entertaining games seem to be way on top of the request list, so you'd probably be drowned in thanks upon a playable release. :)

Well I dunno about that.. all 6 apps are really excellent :)

At the end, I did what No!No!No!Yes! did in this thread, and stuck a lump of change log in it :p http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=319. Still, I had to delete hundreds of words from that just to make the post under the limit... :o

No!No!No!Yes! pm me if you'd like to change the change log, but tell me what to write!! :p

BTW Ive requested for the Desktop voting thread to be stickied, it's kinda falling away cos we're collecting votes and not replies..

Hi nicolai,
in case you haven't solved your problem yet: If you don't need your application built for i386 (and in the autobuilder you most probably don't), you can set this in your debian/control file:
(you probably have either all or any instead of armel there.)

Even though I've sent you a PM, kojacker, I'm posting more complete info here to spare you the trouble of looking for other info elsewhere. I'm quite sure you're gonna go crazy by the time you finish all the categories anyway... :) If I can help in any way, let me know. (you should have made the list of required info and strict format public sooner, that would save some trouble... :cool:)

EDIT: Hey! did you notice I took that screenshot precisely at midnight? That should definately be judged separately as an exhibition of extreme skill :D (I was working hard on the button icons till about 23:30, because it looked really bad without them...)

Guys, don't you think we should advertise voting at least on: maemo-community, maemo-users mailing list, #maemo irc channel, Planet Maemo and Twitter?

I don't know how/where to vote neither :\

Andy I think it's a great idea, and you are very welcome to write about the competition and advertise it anywhere you want. If you could do so on the competition's behalf that would be great! Please remember this is a community competition, not mine or anyone else's, and we only got where we are today through the help of everyone! Many people advertised the competition throughout Maemo.org, Nokia fansites, and even on other handheld systems like the Pandora development sites. It's been a pretty awesome team effort for a bunch of amateurs :cool:

We're at 5.743 views by the way on the wiki. So some people are definitely knowing we are here :)

If you looked up 2 or 3 posts before posting, you'd have seen a link to the first voting thread - Desktop Apps Voting Thread. At the top of the thread is a forum poll, the same as any poll on here or almost anywhere else. You put the dot against the option you want to vote for and register it. It's that simple! You can't miss it, it's right there at the top of the screen.

So I'd encourage you to have a look at the thread, try out the applications, and have a think about who deserves your vote the most.. and then place it! :) Let me know how you get on, we'll call it the "andy80 test" :)

The voting threads are going to be staggered a little, later on today we'll be having the Location & Navigation voting thread online. I'll be sure to update the thread when it happens.

Edit: By the way, there is a small section on voting on the wiki which links to the Desktop voting thread. It's not that clearly written, I'll tidy it up later after work :)

Are all t.m.o. users allowed to vote in voting polls? I hope there are some limitations (like account created before competition started and at least 10 posts). I have a worry that if there is no limitation like that it would be possible to have a large amount of new users to vote for specific app. This is easily done by promoting your app on high traffic forums or mailing lists. I would sleep better if this kind of activity would be made impossible.
