N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors

[qgil]

This email has been sent to maemo.org developers and contributors with karma +200:

Dear maemo.org contributor,

After the Maemo Summit, the N900 device program is making an additional step focusing on the maemo.org community.

You are eligible for a N900 device discount thanks to your contributions to the Maemo community. The approximate reduced price is 300€ approximately. The final amount might vary in different countries.

We recommend you to use this option before the end of the year. We can't guarantee a discounted device for you after that date. In fact, the sooner you can answer the better since the requests will be dealt on a first come, first served basis.

IMPORTANT STEPS

1) Go to ((( http://forum.nokia.com/maemo related URL ))) and login using your Forum Nokia username and password. If you don't have FN username yet, you will first need to register and create one at https://www.forum.nokia.com/Sign_Up.xhtml . Using the same ID and email address than in maemo.org will make your life easier but it's not required.

2) Fill in the form and submit.

3. Send an email to ********@nokia.com with the subject "N900 maemo.org program" specifying your Forum Nokia ID (and your maemo.org ID if different).

They will check all requests, making sure that they come from people in the list of maemo.org contributors we have provided. Don't send the link above to anybody. Applications from people not in the list will be rejected anyway.

This invitation is compatible with previous steps of the N900 device program. If you got a pre-production device on loan you can still keep it for the period agreed and get the discounted device. All we ask you is to make good use of the devices you have e.g. finding a community developer to bring more software to Maemo 5. Otherwise you can return the loaned device.

If you have questions please use the discussion thread in talk.maemo.org: *************

Thank you very much for your interest in the Maemo platform! And thank you very much for your maemo.org contributions.

that's nice of nokia (though I guess they know what they are doing - after 10 devices with maemo are out, and there are houndreds of developers, they won't be doing such actions, that's for sure )

I guess I have no chance at all, with my few discussion messages and no packages (yet) created.. oh, well.. let's buy full-priced n900, develop apps, and hopefully n900+1 will be offered for such nice price later too

Erm...

Don't send the link above to anybody. Applications from people not in the list will be rejected anyway.

Maybe hide the link?

Was the email sent to everyone with 200+ karma? I don't think I got the email.

Guys, please give the Internet few hours before asking.
