Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

I am thinking about a commitee because I think there is more to good software development than what end users see with a first glance, but it was just brainstorming from zero base, it's not that I have something against what you proposed.

What I was trying to say, but obviously I didn't make it clear is this:
As it is -not- the scope of the competition to award devices to updates, maybe this activity (Qt5 on N9) could have some devices dedicated to successful porting of select apps from Qt4 to Qt5.

I agree that Qt5 shold be left out of the maemo.org coding competition

I think these are the last postings on the community awards. Criteria to be agreed upon now to allow plenty of time for nominations, but winners to be selected under supervision of new council. Glad to have more discussion of it, but if not let's get it started.

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

When you say 25 devices for Community Awards.. What do you mean by that? I'm in no way a dev.. But I would like to help out and maybe get a prize.. Is there a chance for me to do so?

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

25 people get 1 each of (N950? N9?) for being helpful to the Maemo community.

They're probably going to be nominated by fellow community members or something.

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

Yeah, I just went through the entire thread and read it all... But what I still don't get is how do I beta test if I don't currently have an N9? (Gave mine to my brother who's now in Jordan)... I do have an N900 though... Otherwise I am going to try my best to be active everywhere... I've been promoting Nokia verbally since forever, and I do get a lot of compliments for my N900 after I show it off and say what it can do... And just today I got someone really interested with the white Nokia N9 at my work... Actually all I had to do is introduce it to him and tell him all about it and showed him a picture of it... He went bananas!!! :)

@bandora

Community Awards is rather recognition of past deeds, not a way to make people sing hymns about Nokia's greatness for a upcoming month, just to get devices ;)

No one said it's last device program - do great things, and You might have chances in next summer. Why not?

As for Community Awards, I would do that people interested in getting one just "nominate" themselves - this will save us any "bad blood" with people nominating others.

Personally, I think it's even unnecessary to write a motivation - people are well known for their deeds to Community, so there should be no problem with selecting people getting prizes. AFAIK, most Council candidates are very active, so next Council won't have a problem with giving proper recognition.

As we already know about deciding body for community awards, maybe it's good time to open submissions? New Council will decide about winners, but there is no need to wait for new Council to actually *start* submitting, at least, if we really want to give long time for submissions, and let people receive devices in Summer, not Autumn ;)

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

I would LOVE to do some raw OpenGL ES stuff, maybe get a nice engine running (http://cubeengine.com/forum.php4?act...thread_id=2534).

Where do i apply?:) I was thinking of making a game, or maybe just to enhance the capabilities of Qt GameEnabler with some more frameworks, to ease media app development. (i also have my own media framework http://www.naprava.net/)

BTW I do already have an app in the store: http://store.ovi.com/content/196436

Thanks for this opportunity!

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

Thank-you for organizing this QGil... ;)
Sorry I pestered you for mths about it, to the point of me getting angry when you flat-out said "No."
That was approx. 3mth ago, glad to hear it is in-fact happening now!
Pretty woeful no. of devices compared to what's happened for WP, but better than nothing!

Re: Summer'12 Device Program
 

So we have this thread for Qt5 & Nokia Store, & another for the Coding Competition.
Where's the thread for Community Awards, or hasn't it shifted from the mail-list yet?
According to the wiki entry it's still "coming soon"....

If you're struggling for a name, "Maemopalooza 2012" has a nice ring to it. Indeed Perry Farrell may well turn up if you ask him. He demands a boxfresh N950 though.
