Hahaha, that is just mean. :D (wouldn't be so funny if it was me though) If the app was dead it wouldn't be a problem but when the maintainer applied for a device himself it's just mean. :mad:

Edit: I don't think qgil will be happy if he finds out about it.

Edit2: Ahh so you got a device after all. :)

:eek:
WOW!!
What an amazing donation!!
Thank you.:):)

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Did a quick tally on the community donations and notice we've officially passed the $1000 dollar mark! (€805 collected so far) Well done everybody! :cool:

I think we should make a little hoo-ha* about it, so I'll ask if it can get mentioned in the next Maemo Weekly News (all publicity is good publicity) ;):D

Next stop - 1000 Euros!

Edit: Also bumped the MeeGo forum thread for good measure ;)

Edit2: *hoo-ha means fuss!!

Not a problem. :) Thought it will make it easier for you to find me.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I would like to raise again the question how much code must have to be changed in a existing project to participate at the MeeGo Coding Competition?
In my opinion this was not finally and exactly determined...

And the next question: Am I allowed to submit a project I participated with at the last competition?

There is no rule for this. But in my opinion there should be a rule to exclude superb projects to "win" again and again and again. ;)
But as long as there is no rule to participate only once... why don't fill up our small competition with a additional contribution? :rolleyes: :confused:

My change:

I added to my DreamRemote project now support for the Linux VDR-Live project. It seems to work so far flawless.
It's in my opinion not a reinvention of the wheel. But it's also not a totally small change...

So, any comments? What does the community think? :)

Hello,

just a quick wiki update asked by the Qt Community Sponsorship I've added a link to the Qt SDK http://wiki.maemo.org/MeeGo_Coding_C...on_development

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I dunno man, if you spent at least 20 hours on adding stuff yourself and are not entering it in the beginner category, I have no problem with your submission.

I've got my own question: can we extend the competition another week or two? I really need to test my app on the n950 since it refuses to run on maemo5 once I enabled some geomapping stuff from Qt Mobility.I just found another Qt Mobility feature (QSystemAlignedTimer) that doesn't work on maemo5 too. I can fix that stuff for maemo5 later, after the competition. But this means I can't test my app on the n900, and the Qt simulator doesn't support some dbus stuff I need or the sys aligned timer either... No problem if Nokia puts my n950 in the mail, but it's still not shipped. I've got some family coming to visit me at the end of the month too, so I probably have less time to work on this later if anything.
Anyways, I thought the main reason we extended it was so we can get some time to test things on the n950s, so is anyone else waiting for one? I don't want to cause the competition to get extended just for me, so please say something if you are in the same boat :)

-edit-
Just got an email saying they shipped it today, so I might be okay.

Mmmh... it was about 6 hours. Mainly digging how it works at the Linux VDR project and refacturing my own code. So perhaps I shouldn't contribute with this project... I don't know. I'm still not sure but perhaps you're right.
I hope others are handling it the same way. :)

It's anyway only a niche Application. You need at least a expensive sattelite or cable tv receiver or something similar to use it. For other people this app is mostly useless... :)

Personally I would be find to extend it again. In my opinion we are not under pressure to finish it now. But perhaps you shouldn't count to much into the N950 build. There are only a few devices out there. But the lion's share has only a N900 or some kind of MeeGo Tablet if ever MeeGo. If your Application runs only at the N950, how would you attract people to vote for your app? :)

The Advantage to extend it again would be for me that I finally get able to contribute with my DreamRemote application. :D
My rewriting using C++ and QML will need more time as scheduled... :rolleyes:

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I'd like to get a little bit more feedback from the other participants before deciding if extending the competition again or not.
What do you think?
