Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Done :) Btw yesterday was a good day of all Qt fans because Digia confirmed the release of Qt 5 and support for iOS and Android in 2013 :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

still no news here ...

No big problem as I'm very busy on work... but the weekend will be hard :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I'm assuming the setup program for the SDK fails because the site is down.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Don't know... Probably you are right..

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Just edit the python script and point it to a mirror (if exists) or set your own mirror and point it to localhost.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Yeah, that's what I want to do. I just need the mirror as you suggest.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

F.Y.I. I e-mailed Nokia Support about some issues with the store, in addition to the harmattan dev site being down, and they had this to say:

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi,
Any chance to payout the bounty share before Xmas?
I think, we can start to collect the data needed, as I'm afraid that it will take also a long, long time :(

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Ofcourse, it'll only take a couple of days to do the bounty prizes. I know everyone will find the bounty money useful with Christmas coming. We still have a few device prizes to follow up on, I would expect everything to be completed in the next week or two... hang in there! :)

Edit: Just got word back from marmistrz and fcrochik that they received theirs ok, here's the updated list of 'not yets' and 'unknowns'

• Paolo Angelelli
• netvandal (not yet)
• kesrut
• Wikiwide (not yet)

Edit:
jackburton, I added a query on your behalf to this thread - hopefully someone might have some advice. Have you thought of just not using scratchbox in the meantime? :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Thanks, Kojacker. I saw that. I'm going to go ahead and get the Qt SDK and see what the QEMU images have built into them.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Got word back from Paolo and Kesrut that their devices arrived ok, it's just 2 guys - netvandal and Wikiwide - left. Still no luck guys?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Quick reply...
Zero, naught, nil, null, none, nothing, nought, nullo, cero, nula, 零 (líng in Chinese, Rei in Japanese), 영(Yeong in Korean). No letter, no device.
Best wishes.

If that's your short reply Wikiwide, I would hate to see your long reply :)

I'm going to message qwazix and see if we can reach out to the Nokia rep, maybe he/she can offer some clues when these two devices (yours and netvandals') were sent and perhaps get some tracking info. We might reach out directly, but we'll keep you up to date with whatever we find out.

Edit: email sent to qwazix.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I can quote Wikiwide, still no luck :(

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Bad NEWS,.... I got an update from Nokia:

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I notice the issue of dirksonguers' broken N950 was mentioned in the council meeting notes. Hopefully you're getting some progress on this Dirk, and something can be worked out.

I'm not sure the news is any worse or anything different than what we already knew, ikkysleepy. Here's the last two updates from the Nokia Developer Community manager (bottom one from yesterday) on the status of the maintenance.

It sounds to me that it's still being worked on ok and he still expects it to be back before too long.. is there anything in particular you needed from the site ikkysleepy? Maybe we can help find it in the meantime?

I must admit I'm not sure I've ever looked at this Harmattan-Dev site, now that it's down and I can't see it I'm finally curious what was on it :D

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi all, I think we can go ahead and start distributing the bounty while the last 2 devices are being tracked down. At the moment the Bounty total stands at a healthy Eur 805.94 - many thanks to everyone who contributed! We're going to divide this by 7 to make 7 equal shares. The amount is a little awkward to divide up so I've added a little more euros in the pot to bring it up to 812, which equals an even 116 euros per category.

I'm pressed for time today, but tomorrow I'm going to work out the list of bounty share winners and have them posted for you all to see. I'm going to ask for the paypal address of each winner then. I'm sorry, yes I know we're always asking you for details and stuff but well.. :p Once I get those i'll pass them over to zehjotkah who'll send the money as soon as he's able. We know money is always useful but especially at Christmas/winter time, so we want it to be with you asap.

Because netvandal's device hasn't arrived, i won't re-assign the two bounty shares from the Location & Navigation category just yet until we know what's happening with that.

Btw Wikiwide and netvandal, did anyone from Nokia get in contact about your missing devices? or any other updates since?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Quick reply...
No updates, yet.
I will surely contact you as soon as any news arrive - when it happens.
Land of great island isn't exactly close to Finland, so the mail, be it by air or water, has reason to be quite late, I suppose...
Best wishes.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Unfortunately I don't have any updates either. I didn't get any reply from Nokia yet. I will wait until Monday so that a fair amount of time has passed and try again with another contact.

I hope I won't be needing to and that a device will be waiting for you on your door Monday morning.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I can quote Wikiwide .. no update...
I'm in italy and usually shipment doesn't take so much time...

Thanks

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Time to open up the maemo.org Coding Competition community bounty chest!

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...re_chest-2.png

Altogether, we have collected a wonderful €812 ($1053) - thank you again to everyone who contributed! This leaves an even €116 for each of the seven competition categories. The first bounty prize winner will receive 60% of the category share, and the runner up bounty share winner will receive the remaining 40%.

Looking at the results, and removing the 25 device winners, the (provisional) bounty share winners for the first 6 categories will be:

Desktop, System, and Utilities:

• DingMee
• ReferIt

Games, Graphics, and Multimedia:

• Lone Wolf
• Nyan Cat

Network and Communications

• WifiTrans
• Bumblr

Other:

• MeeGoal
• Kana of the Day

Updates and Development on Existing Apps:

• ProfileMatic
• Presence VNC

Beginners:

• Allocine
• Task Poach

The bounty shares from the Location and Navigation category will be assigned once we resolve the issue with the 2 late/missing device shipments.

Many congratulations to our bounty share winners!

If the above doesn't appear correct or if there are any questions, please reach out to me on pm or via the competition email address - maemo.competition2012 'at' gmail.com. I will leave the results as provisional until Monday midnight GMT, after which the results will be confirmed. I will then reach out to the winners directly for their paypal address details to which they will receive their prize.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Any idea if he Council/BoD has plans to start another one of these "piggy banks" of sorts?
I reckon we should have one going permanently, maybe two; one for infra. & the other for dev devices?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I'm not aware of any plans jalyst, but it's not something I'd have any visibility into.

I believe I read somewhere (maybe on MWKN) that zehjotkah is going to be treasurer for the Hildon foundation - so I guess if anyone knows about any BoD plans it'll be him. Similarly, qwazix may know more about any council plans. I think your best way for an update would be pm'ing them directly or asking on the "Ask the council" thread. Or if they pop onto this thread they mght leave a reply below :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

harmattan-dev.nokia.com is up again! :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Was any reply from Nokia received?
How are attempts at contact going?
Are the Nokia employees on sick leave?
Time is coming to the winter festivities.

I am hoping for the long shadow to arrive before the New Year's Eve.
Server, I hope, will still work the next year; thanks to you all for your ongoing support of it.

Guests are welcome, gifts are given, tricks are shared, advice is saved, jokes are spoken, and goodwill upheld.
Old is not forgotten, and new is not ignored, as the world is slyly moulded.
Illusion of loss may hang around Nokia, but this cape will not shroud magnificence of open source cooperation from those who care to look underneath the underneath.
Normally, it would be posted as off-topic, if at all, but I wished to sound a wake-up call...
Gone have many hours and days since last in this thread update.

Of course, there are activities in other threads going on.
Nevertheless, I shall inquire: what is the latest information on this topic?

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

You are a poet and I didn't know it! ;-P

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

@kojacker, are you already collecting the paypal accounts? I didn't receive any message from you until now.
I don't want to stress you out but it will be a great thing to have the money before Christmas :-D

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

The last I heard from qwazix is that he was having problems getting a response from the Nokia rep. I know he tried another avenue without much luck, there's so little we can do for you until we can reach someone on Nokia's side I'm afraid :(

Nokia should be able to tell us if the package has been shipped and what the tracking details is reporting - if the package has been delivered somewhere or has gone missing/held in customs. You are able to check your address is right on the account and there is no chance of an address mix up or something like that. But there's nothing much I can do for you to help, as much as I want to. I assume you've already checked your address details so it wouldnt have been delivered somewhere else - so all we can do is keep prodding Nokia to look into it. I know that's not very helpful right now :(

It's a really sucky situation. I'm just hoping qwazix and the council Nokia contacts will get there in the end for you. And same for netvandal too ofcourse.

Yep, someone had challenged the results but i think it was a misunderstanding that has been sorted out now (related to additional prizes for multiple entries from same developer, ie. we dont). It took a few emails back and forth, but i haven't heard anything in a couple of days. i'm assuming everyone else is happy that it's correct.

Because I'm dealing with people's generously donated money, it's extra important I don't screw this bit up.

I'll be emailing all you bounty winners over the next day or so. But those on the list, feel free to email the competition email address with your paypal address details in the meantime to move things along. I'll pick it up and get it ready to send to zehjotkah to do the payments.

Edit: All emails sent to the bounty share winners, as listed here, requesting their paypal email address.

Edit2: Received 6 so far - thanks guys.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Wikiwide and netvandal we haven't forgotten you. I have tried to contact two Nokia representatives myself, one never responded, the other has left Nokia. The latest action was yesterday, when ivgalvez informed me that he forwarded my e-mail to the board's Nokia contact. We now again have to wait for a response.

Thanks for your patience, I will give you an update as soon as I know anything.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Let me thank everyone as I didn't do before: :xox: :xox:

But, kojacker, do you answer the emails about bounties? I haven't gotten your reply yet. :-| I had asked a question.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi Hossein, don't worry I got it :) Sorry for the late reply but I glanced quickly and hadn't realised the question, but don't worry - you're not the only person with a paypal problem. It will be no problem to send your prize to your friend's paypal account.

For those asking about sending to other accounts - please be aware that it's up to you to get from the other person :p Once it's sent and collected, we can't send it again, so make sure you trust them! But if it's your wishes and the best way to get your prize to you, then it's what we can do.

I got the last paypal address about an hour ago, I'm going to send the collection of paypal addresses to zehjotkah in a moment.

Edit:
email sent

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Payment recieved, thanks to everybody who made this possible!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Payment received, many thanks! :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

I sent all the payments of the first prize money winners.
I'll wait a day or two, just to check if everything went smooth, then I'll send the money of the second prize money winners.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Received payment! Thanks a lot!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Payment received, thank you very much

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Hi guys, no news for me and Wikiwide ?
Thanks!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

Payment received too! Thx!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 

How long has it been since last successful contact with Nokia?
Ostensibly, the Maemo people within Nokia either have left or are busy - hopefully, with migration of the website.
What has been the response to the last letter sent to Nokia?

Appreciating your effort.
Ruminating over various possibilities.
Expecting the best, fearing the worst.

Yearning over those whose device is broken.
Ominous doomsday is not going to happen, not this month, not next year.
Understandably impatient yet attempting to concentrate nevertheless.
