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? |

Although the double donation was a mistake, I easily use more than 40€'s worth of free apps on my N900. This is a small token of thanks to all those who code in their spare time so we can have better devices. A big thank you to all the developers who've supported this amazing device so far :) |

http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?titl...seful_contacts Is it mandatory, not totally. Is it in your best interests, most definitely! I just dont have the time to scavenge around for bits and pieces of info on each project, if any author's dont want a title and blank description on the voting thread they best send me something :p Quote:
BTW I sent a pm earlier to thp as his wiki entry is still showing "TBA" as the project name, and hasn't been updated in weeks. If he doesn't get it updated in time his entry will be incomplete and invalid, so I hope it updates it soon :( |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] The First N900 Coding Competition! 21st May-21st July. Open to all!
We currently have 66 projects listed on the wiki as entries, in comparison I dont have so many PMs with details from author's yet. We still have another few hours to go and I suspect they'll all start coming in at the end :p But there's no way Im going to be able to create voting threads for 60-odd projects tonight, I got to sleep sometime! :rolleyes:
The new plan is to start with two categories tonight to get their voting threads up and running by tomorrow morning. I've chosen "Desktop" and "Location & Navigation" to begin with as they are a little smaller in number (so far) but also because they have more proportion of PMs in now.. so I can start work on them right away. So please everyone who's entered for these two categories get your PMs in asap so I can get to sleep sooner :D No!No!No!Yes!, Ianaré, Venemo, and Benson Tsai - I need your PMs for your desktop entries. You too, digitalsurgeon, if you finally decide on a category for your app! pine and tahitibob35 - I still need your PMs for your location entries. Over the next day or two the voting threads for the remaining categories will be done. Ofcourse, there won't be any further entries permitted into the competition after the close of contest tonight. Just a few hours left :) |

It's a smaller competition thats going to be running at the same time, but it's strictly for coders who have created and released their first app for the N900 during the competition dates (May 21st-July21st). It sounds like you're eligible, so if so just let me know and I'll put your "Yes" back in there .. or you can update the wiki yourself if u fancy here It costs nothing to enter so you might as well ;) Quote:
I know the first one, he pm'd me already to let me know. The second Im not sure... |

PM sent to Kojacker with details for my two entries:
Entry 1: Classic Cam -------------------- Classic Cam is a camera app that automatically "develops" photos to give them a "retro" look, much the same as those old 70's prints you have in your photo album. The application replicates the look of the back of an instamatic camera (with the addition of a not-so-retro LCD preview panel!) and uses the shutter button to take photos. When a photo is taken, a number of different configurable filters are applied automatically to the photo to create a photo that looks like an old print. The application is fully functional but is a work-in-progress and will continue to be developed based on user feedback and comments Available in the extras-devel repository. Further details in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=53516 Entry 2: Classic Print ---------------------- Classic Print allows you to load any photo image then apply and tweak settings to give the photos a classic retro look, like those 1970's prints you have in your photo album. Based on the same image processing engine as Classic Cam, this application allow you to take existing photos and apply a retro print style to them. The application allows you to tweak all the parameters of the filters and save presets of your favourite settings. Available in the extras repository.

Does anybody know anything about Ianaré and his Moon Phase Widget?
I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere other than it's name on the comp wiki page. Ive pm'd him for more details on it and to see if it's still being entered into the competition. At the moment I have an entry on the wiki but absolutely nothing else to go on, not even a screenshot or a description :( Could someone please double check for me that I haven't missed anything in a repository somewhere? I dont want to lose anyone from the comp and I'll gather details on their behalf, but I cant find anything on this one.. yet. I guess it's possible the project may be dead and it hasn't been taken off the wiki.. |

HI,
I finally fixed one strange and annoying bug in my program for this competition (scout). The current version is 0.0.5 my new version is 0.0.6 and uploaded to the extras-devel autobuilder. But the build failed for the i386 target. The armel target succeed but it isn't available from the repository as long as i386 target doesn't succeed. I hope I can use the 0.0.6 version as my submission for the competition. regards nicolai |

Btw, do you need any more information from me? Most of it can be pulled from the first post of the thread I linked to in the Wiki - but please let me know if anything is missing! (Don't bother with the PayPal info - looking at the other entries you won't need that from me :D ) |

Yes please send me more stuff anyway, basically it's a pain in the rump trying to salvage bits and pieces together of apps you dont know. Especially when you're trying to cover everything. Basically what Id love from everyone is something like this: App name: Author: Brief description: Screenshot(s): Features/work to be judged: Package name and where to find the app: Maemo.org thread or garage thread (if exists) A lot of what i got was "I'm entering "1000 Cottage Cheese Recipies" into the contest. My paypal is pottedcheeselover@cheesetime.c.." and all the other stuff missing. So Im hoking around threads trying to fill in some gaps cos most normal people on our side of the planet are asleep and wont get my reply for more info until tomorrow earliest anyway. Unless someone has kindly given me all the info, what I plan to do is write a little something for the entry similar to above layout to cover the basics, and then start the poll thread, Then I'll give each author 24 hours to review what Ive written and change it. To make sure Ive represented their app correctly and to help users judge it correctly. |

And sorry - didn't think about how much work it must be to get all the information together with so many entries!

Kojacker, could you leave KitchenAlert and URPO out of the beginner's contest, (unless only previously released apps count as previous programming experience on N900)? Edit: I'm starting to realize that, if "hello world" app's are more than welcome to this competition, perhaps I should have counted the my 'picked up from a programming book' python script (of which I printed several copies while testing URPO :)) and stuff like that as previous apps on N900. I just didn't think them as apps... Perhaps those arranging possible next comp could learn from this: make very clear rules so fools like me would not cause a mess ;) |

The first priority of Sticky Notes is to provide a finger-friendly user interface to make it a joy to use it for all users. Sticky Notes is the first widget that offers users to create more than one instance of it on Maemo 5. They all come with the option to select different background colours, foreground colours, fonts, and you can even set the transparency level of each note. Sticky Notes comes with options to format text inside your notes with a small toolbar that goes away when you don't need it (thus making more room for the notes). It also supports popular key shortcuts for formatting. |
