I think the MeeGo style guide only applies for printed stuff..

I've a Amber Monitor somewhere at home. I could put it on eBay if you are interested. ;)

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

The wiki application proposal needs some clean up. It includes nonsense items like:
I mean wtf.

And semi duplicate items like Answering Machine/Call answering. Shall I edit it?

My girlfriend would love the pink color. ;)

But why are the logos still so small and so much free space arround?

The design guidlines are only for Devices, Documents and Logos... not inside a Text or something like that. And our Competition Advertisment it is more like a "Headline". Not a single Logo.
Otherwise we should rename this thread from:
"MeeGo Coding Competition 2011"
to
" _ MeeGo _ Coding Competition 2011"


If we follow this rules everywhere, then we should really follow this rules everywhere! ;)

In my opinion we are fine with the logo we're using since 3 weeks. Sorry mrsellout. But is changing this every week really a good idea?
In my opinion not. But perhaps someone has a other opinion. Perhaps a "weekly countdown logo" could be a nice idea. Every week a new Logo with the time we have until the competition ends. But currently there is to much work to do at other construction zones.

Mrsellout, we would need a Logo for the MeeGo coding competition 2012. Perhaps I could familiarize myself with the color pink until next year. (everythink except my bedroom if you try to understand my pain) :D
We will see what happens during this competition and the rest of this year. Nobody knows if we have at the next competition still the N900 part or if we all working with a great successor or not.

In my opinion we should only correct the maemo part of the current logo as texrat said last week. But I don't have the original File made by noobmonkey. So I've attached only a fast mockup.

I would like to shift the "maemo.org" a little bit to the left. (the "presents the" could stay at this position) - I hope Noobmonkey is still arround here to help.

Yes!

Done ;)

i was a little curious about why so many donations were coming in as anonymous, just to remind you all that you can put your username in a box on the donation page. It's can be a little tricky though, in that sometimes the box isn't there automatically on the payment screen and you have to click a blue '+' sign to open it. You deserve to be recognised on the bounty roll of honor for being so generous, so make sure you let zehjotkah know who you are!

For example, here's a screenshot of my donation for the previous competition. The box to put your maemo.org username should be on the left hand side, if not click the '+' sign to open it up.

After sending you'll get a confirmation code and an email, from Paypal, to your registered email address to confirm it.

Unfortunately we discovered last time that it's not possible to avoid Paypal fees, even with donations. If you are able to give a little more to help cover the fees of your donation that would be amazing, however it's not expected - the organisers will be genuinely very grateful for everything you contribute. For some ideas of what Paypal takes for a transaction amount check out the wiki, zehjotkah is listing the donations, paypal fees, and the amount into the bounty.

Staying on the bounty theme, has the prize split been decided yet zehjotkah? I don't notice it on the wiki. That's one lesson learned from the last time was to decide as early as possible so everyone knows how their donation will be spent.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Also if you decide afterwards that you didn't like to donate at all, you can drop me a line within 30 days (if I remember correctly) and I can send back your donation without having to pay the PayPal fees.
Maybe someone noticed that the PayPal fees are not always the same. Just check the two donations made on 4/17/2011. That's because the donators came from different countries - different fees apply.
If you're connected to a Local MeeGo Network you should think about collecting some money offline and designing ONE to send the money because PayPal fees consist of a fixed amount plus a percentage, so the % PayPal fee of a higher amount is smaller than the % PayPal fee of various but smaller amounts.

We haven't yet decided how we'll split up the bounty.
We're currently hoping that we'll also get sponsorship from Qt: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/S...mpetition_2011 Thanks to b0unc3 for managing that!

Current priority is to get the submissions into the submissions site to have the contact to the devs (because of the MeeGo devices) and a centralized site to get in touch with other potential sponsors.

But yes, please, think about how a fair split would look like. Thanks!
