Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I wonder how many of those 5000 members with karma>=10 are actually still active within the maemo/meego scene in general, or have an up-to-date email address registered on maemo.org. In other words, although the turnout is definitely low in numbers, it may not be as low in percentage terms as mentioned above, if many of those 5000 members are not active in general.

What are the rules that will be used to determine which place a particular app is in competition results?

The number of votes is so low that one could easily compute the results manually.

One of possible options is to assign a number (vote points), eg. count of submission in particular category minus place that user voted plus one. For example: in category we have five apps (AppA, AppB, AppC, AppD, AppE).

Suppose user1 voted:
1. AppB (5)
2. AppD (4)

and user2 voted:
1. AppA (5)

and user3 voted:
1. AppD (5)
2. AppA (4)
3. AppB (3)
4. AppC (2)
5. AppE (1)

The results would be:
1. AppD and AppA with 9 vote points
2. AppB with 8 vote points
3. AppC with 2 vote points
4. AppE with 1 vote point

Is that the system that will be used?

Is it the single transferrable vote system used in the council elections? http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ection_process

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

No, that's not how it works. It's Single Transferable Vote. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Maemo elections appear to have used RTSTV. A quick glance at RTSTV selects the top X candidates, but does not then rank them (although maybe I missed it). A simple way to determine the winner is to run the election with 1 seat. The second place winner is then one who is added to the winners in a 2 seat election, etc.

Here's a simple script that does that:

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I'm not sure if it is a good idea to publish such a inofficial table. What if the official algorythm works a little bit different? :confused:

Think about the disappointment if the ranking next week differs at the official result a little bit in some parts. I would say lets wait before we praise our new King(s). ;)

But thanks for your effort and congratulations to all winners!

And by winners I mean all developers of the contest hence I'm sure they are able to benefit from everything they have learned while participating in this competition. Especially the beginners!
Thank you. :)

Mh... by whe way... what about creating a small icon, banner or logo for our winners? So a small promotion banner they could use. (1st place at the coding competition 2011 or something like this) Don't know if anybody would like to use this but perhaps... :rolleyes:

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Mh, and neal... there is something wrong with your results. :(

The system and utility categorie has 11 participants, not 10 - fun and strange has 5 and not 4 - and at the games we had 21 and in your results are only 18!

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I didn't include the last place entry, which is why all categories should have N-1 reported entries, not N. I'm not sure what happened with the games category.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Okay, lets wait for the official results. But I guess we can't get them before next week.

Zehjotkah? :)
