I don't have any particular idea ATM, but I'd be happy to join one of the projects (or a new one).
I can bring in some linux/debian c++/python/qt skills

I say this because in the applications i am developing I use the State Machine Framework, and untill qt4.6 this will not be availabel. For the moment I am compiling them for symbian.

Regards!!!!

My first "serious" program when learning a language, is a number guessing game. Where the comp gets a random number and the player has to guess it. The comp is guiding the player in the right direction by telling if the number bigger or smaller.
When I'm comfortable enough around a language, I create a Reversi game.

I want to participate in this competition with a Reversi. I'll do it in Python an Qt, and call it PeQersi. Wanted to do it for some time and this competition will be a good motivation.
I started working on it, and it's about 10 percent finished.
Didn't put it up anywhere yet. Want to reach a player vs player gaming level of script, so people can use/test it.

FYI, I saw your post and will supply the stands before the contest deadline.

I am also probably going to use QT 4.6, although I haven't looked at what's changed yet. I expect it to have generally much better support for Maemo. I'm gonna look at the changelog though and see if I really need it.

But I firmly believe the patch will be out before the competition end :D If not, maybe I'd be able to participate in the next round... haha

I'm also gonna set up a paypal account (finally) and when I do it, I'll pledge some money to the bounty myself.

One of the best motivators for a project like this is recognition. Can we get any kind of publicity sorted either on the front of maemo.org, through nokia.com or one of the big tech blogs (giz, engadget, slash, etc, etc)?

An excellent initiative, typical of this forum and the Maemo community as a whole.
I'm too dim to code but will happily add $20 to the bounty.

Hope I'll get my program done before the end :D
