We have had even more competition entries than first expected, and when the deadline closed in the end of January there are a whopping 32 entries!
Now the ball is in the hands of community members to evaluate and score the contestants, until voting starts on 15.2.2017
Because we have 3 different categories in the competiton, we need to define the order between the categories to line up contestants in correct order.
To encourage new developers the "Beginner" category is given an extra boost and hence the pick order for prizes will be this;
1. The winner of "Beginner" category
2. The winner of "Something New" category
3. The winner of "Updating/Fixing" category
4. The 2nd of "Beginner" category
5. The 2nd of "Something New" category
6. The 2nd of "Updating/Fixing" category
7. The 3rd of "Beginner" category
8. The 3rd of "Something New" category
9. The 3rd of "Updating/Fixing" category
10. The 4th of "Beginner" category
11. The 4th of "Something New" category
12. The 4th of "Updating/Fixing" category
13. ...
14. ...
... and so on.
Remember that to be eligible to vote, you need to have a Maemo account with minimum of 10 karma points. (and note that Maemo account is *not* same thing as TMO account...)
The karma 10 requirement is pretty easy to achieve, just one TMO posting with thanks is enough to gain you 10 points.
To make it possible for as many contestants as possible to get a prize we still accept donations, both monetary and devices!
My Karma is just 5. Now I found out, accounts have to be linked to get karma points, which i just did. I wonder if karma points are counted retroactively, but i doesn't look like it.
Karma recalculation needs some time or better is done only once a while.
So link your accounts asap.
If you think you need to vote and should have already enough karma there will be manual possibility ( but it is not in my hands ).
@peterleinchen is correct, karma calculation after linking the accounts takes between 1...15 days depending where the crawler process is going at the moment
There indeed exists a procedure to fix karma manually; just contact me and I will fix it for you.
