Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I had same dilemma, but apperantly it is normal (somehow our developer usernames aren't associated to our accounts for login). I believe that this is due to merging accounts inside of Nokia.
However, I am not 100% sure about this, if someone could confirm it would be great.

What I know for sure is that we need to give that username located at developer.nokia.com page (upper right corner)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Quite a lot of confusion going on!
What I guess is going here:
Nokia merged/screwed databases for their different login systems.
Now all accounts are linked and you need to login with your Nokia account name (or e-mail), not anymore your developer account name.
I have chosen them to be the same, but it looks like the developer account may be different to the Nokia account. And then you may not login anymore with your developer name, but Nokia name.
Drax and aStrike, could you please check and confirm?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Only some cities are accepted, but town isn't for example.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

But you do have two lines to enter your complete address and a postal code (which I also included in above two lines).
Nearest city is somehow restricted to cities (for country boys ;)). And I think does not reflect the vcity/town/village you are living in.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Relax! I attended last year's competition and also didn't get anywhere, but I totally enjoyed the experience. I later got several devices due to the app I developed, so you never know.

If you want you can publish it to Nokia Store and hopefully earn some pocket money.

I think I voted for your app by the way.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

That is normal. The developer account username is no longer used for login (it was stated when they implemented sso). You can login with either your email, or your nokia.com (old ovi.com) username.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

When I go to developer.nokia.com, I can only login with my email, on nokia.com I can't find anywhere login.
Next I tried to login at store.ovi.com, and I can configure my account, however I can't find anywhere username (for example, when I go to store.ovi.com, it doesn't say "Hi Some_User", instead I get "Hi my@email.com".
So I guess that we can login only using emails.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

@draxcp6
Try
https://acount.nokia.com

And when you log in there and just open developer.nokia.com, you should be automatically logged in.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

This field is actually quite funny - last time I've checked it, it was able to identify even small cities in some European countries, but wasn't aware of country capitals (sic!) existence, in some other (also European). Don't ask me, why they have implemented such ridiculous and confusing, yet *mandatory* field.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi guys, yep the whole accounts merge/username thing seems to be pretty confusing - thanks for helping each other and pointing out the correct bits and pieces of info :)

I have a collection of odds and ends from folks, some have given me several different usernames, phone numbers, account history... But I'm not sure what to do with all that lol Also please don't send me any sensitive account info, leave that between yourself and your Nokia account :o

From what I understand from your posts, your Nokia developer username doesn't sign you in anymore.. either your email address or your standard Nokia username does. But once you're logged in, you should be able to access the developer.nokia.com site and see your developer username once in there.

if you provide me with that developer username and your email address, I'll pass both on so the Nokia rep can verify your account with both details. That should minimise any problems.

in the meantime, please check that your address details in both the developer account and the standard Nokia accounts match. Just in case, so you won't need to go to Papua New Guinea to collect your phone (unless you live there ofcourse!).

Yep, i also understand the 'nearest city' field in the Nokia developer account is silly. My nearest city is 45 miles away and I wouldn't like to have to go there to track down my parcels. There is a second address line to add the correct details, and as long as your post/zip code is correct there shouldn't be any problems. I wouldn't expect the 'nearest city' would appear on an address that is used for posting items, it's probably there as some kind of survey/research details for calculating the number of site users in an area..

I have usernames from most people .. I'm off to rugby training in a hour, and if I don't receive anything from the last few tonight I'll send them an email bump before bed.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I think you picked out the correct information (as I understood that mess :)).
Thanks for summarizing.

Come on guys, hurry up ;)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Just submitted my Developer ID by mail :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Thanks, but I can't visit that link.
Are you sure that is correct?


Huh, I feel better now when I know that I am not only one who is impatient :D
If my calculation is correct, 7 people still need to send their developer ID.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Thanks :)

On that page I don't see anywhere username.
In top-right corner says hi to my first name...

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Here :

https://www.developer.nokia.com/

After login it should say:

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Yeah, thats only username I found, and thats what I sent on email.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Yeah, same here. Since there is now a totally different mailadress in my helex accout at developers.nokia.com I can't login using the new passwort they sent me to my mailadress.

And to make it worse, the moment I created my new Account (for this competition) I used the same mail adress I have used before. And since this is the same adress I used for publish.nokia.com the accounts were now automatically merged and I can't change this adress. So if they would change the mail adress of the corrupted account back to the original adress the system would get really ****ed up because 2 accounts would use the same adress... and and and... baaah! :mad:

Hmpf, since Nokia is anyway death there is perhaps no reason to shed a tear over my old Qt Ambassador account. The program was anyway ceased. :(

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Just out of curiosity :D, how much time will it for nokia to process th devices before they ship the devices after kojacker provides them the ID's list? (was 2-3 days mentioned somewhere?)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I would say 2-3 days in Europe Union, outside probably could take longer.
I'll give it a week :D

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Experience from programs in the past would rather suggest 2-3 *weeks* - and it was before quim said goodbye to Nokia. But, since it's shipped, it should take 2-3 days max to deliver, except for south america and asia.

Of course, there is always chance for pleasant surprise, but I wouldn't count on it too much :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I'm really sorry guys, but I received a message from the Nokia rep last night via council (Woody) regarding the details they are looking. I know I asked for the developer username and email, but it looks like I need to get some more details from all of you. Apologies - this is going to delay us for another few days and I know you are all keen to get this finished and your devices sent out.

Here's the message passed to me

I assumed they would take the details from your account, but I now think they want all of this 'data' along with your Nokia developer usernames. Perhaps they aren't able to view your accounts for data protection reasons. If each of you can do me a favour and send me another email (yes.. I know.. there's been a lot of emails :o) with all your details together that would help me a lot. I know some of you have already provided most of these details in various emails but it'd still help to have it again altogether in 1 email so I can copy/paste it out without hunting my inbox for details. Hopefully it won't take you too long, I'm sorry for the extra effort.

(Also, it's better to email at maemo.competition2012 at gmail dot com than send a pm on here, my pm inbox is full a lot.)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Done!

Thanks Kojacker - take your time! We all will be finally very happy :) after we get our hands on with the new and shiny devices!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

No need to bes orry.
I expected something like that to happen.
Just one question:
Which e-mail do they want? The one registered with developer account? Or any (like TMO registered e-mail)?
And one more:
phone means a valid phone number (registered to NDA)? Or just the model we want?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Sent. Sorry for the delay but I have just seen your post.

10x,
Leon

P.S.

Hm... I just saw that midnight had passed (my local time) and your post which is mark from yesterday actually is not as old as I initially thought :)

P.S 2

I guess that they need your phone number (MSISDN) to provide it to shipping company which may contact you via phone when your prize arrives :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Thanks guys for your understanding, it's lucky you're all a patient bunch :) So far, I've received new emails from qwazix, taixzo, Jukra, Schturman, aStrike, and Leon.Anavi.

I think the email address should be the one registered to your Nokia developer account and 'phone', as Leon mentions above, is most likely a contact number that will be passed to the delivery company. It's not stated very clearly, but I'd have expected to see the word 'device' rather than 'phone' if it was requesting which model to send (I'll be supplying that also in any case :) )

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

OK, just wanted to assure.
Sent out...

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I just sent email.
Sorry for delay, I was away for past 2 days.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Ok, just want to post summary of current status:
Winners that didn't sent email with all details: 9
Winners which didn't sent any info at all (or at least developer name): 3

Now I am worrying about those who didn't sent any info at all.
I mean it passed over two weeks... what could/is holding them back?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Maybe they don't watch forum and wikie and we need to contact them by email... :confused:

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Possible :(
Kojacker would you please "spam" them to take a look at this thread?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Yeah, please do so. And set them a deadline (e.g. 5 days), as it is really neglecting your efforts here.
(and I would gladly take another N9 ;))

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Sorry, Woody gave you incorrect information. So long as the profile is complete, a Nokia Developer account is all that is needed to get the devices sent.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

omg I think the device will not come this month.:(
And next month my work calls me to Stanford CA. I think I will holding the device in December in my hands.
Does somebody know if I need to sign something when the package arrives because of this loan thing.
I already put the address from my parents because of my availability at home.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Thanks SD69 - to be fair to Woody he just passed along a message which was pretty vague, he didnt steer me in any way :) I did ask him about clearing it up and he had mentioned you had reached out for clarification. So I'm assuming you have that clarification now :)

Ok.. I have lunch break in a hour, I'll see where we stand with everyone.

For folks who sent me your extra details, please check that they match what is in your Nokia developer accounts. I'll pass these on anyway as it may be useful for the rep to locate your accounts, unless you ask me not to send these details on. If you rather I didn't just email to let me know, and also I'll delete the email containing them right away. As of right now I'm the only person who has accessed the email account and I have not noted the details anywhere else, nor is my memory that good, so a quick delete and they'll be good as gone.. :)

I'll update later with a status of who's missing a Nokia Developer username, who I spam bumped on email, etc. We should be very close to finally getting this list sent to the Nokia rep.

Hi Halftux, it has been confirmed by council that it's not a loan. However I still suspect it will need to be signed when it arrives - it's pretty valuable after all. There's a good chance it will arrive this month, but even you're unlucky and it doesn't, couldn't your parents just post it on after it arrives if you can't wait until your back in December? :)

Edit:
Ok .. scores on the doors! The latest details I have are here http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Codi...on_2012#Prizes - please take a moment to double check the Nokia developer username I have for you. You all know i'm dozey, it's in your interests to make sure I have it right :) If anything needs changed, just email me as usual.

taixzo, jackburton, Lucien XU, Khertan, qwazix, aStrike, draxcp6, dirksonguer, paoletto, Halftux, titilambert, leon.anavi, munozferna, jukra, helex, MartinK, Schturman, Marrat, and peterleinchen - you guys gave me your Nokia developer account and extra info. So i'm assuming you've been following the thread and your Nokia developer details (address, etc) are all up to date and fine. You get a box of virtual cookies plus an imaginary gold star on your fictious report.

fcrochik, netvandal, and ikkysleepy - I have your Nokia developer username but no extra details (which is fine, but I'm going to email you to double check your Nokia developer account details are all up to date and correct.) (Edit: done) (edit2: moved marmistrz and kesrut to this section)

[..snip..], [..snip..] and saidinesh5 - I don't have any Nokia developer username for you three guys so I'll be emailing you asap to get those. (Edit: emails sent)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Nice my first gold star. How do you know that I like cookies?
Thank you.
It seems you have everything under control. Good job.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi guys, we would like your help with assigning the final device prize - the fcrochik N9 award. This is a N9 which will go to a Maemo5 developer. If you know someone who deserves to be considered (including yourself) please get in touch with me :) We need your help to narrow down the list of possible recipients.

The person we'd ideally like to reward would be an unsung hero.. someone who is doing great work on Maemo5 and who hasn't already got a MeeGo device. Someone who will keep and enjoy the device, and will continue their great work and bring their apps to the new platform. And ideally someone who took part in the competition. However, excellent candidates outside these restrictions could still be considered, so please let us know if you know someone who fulfils some/all of these ideals.

There's no community vote for this prize. The N9 prize is a device that was awarded to fcrochik from the community awards, which he has kindly donated to the competition prize pool - so ofcourse fcrochik will have the major say in choosing the winner. We don't have much time to spend on it so please get your nominations to us asap - via email preferably :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I nominate you, for dealing with all this mess and committing all the time and effort it's taken to make this CC the success it's been.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I agree with that.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

+1 :D
And you can't say no ... :)
