Bumpity-bump to draw attention to http://developer.meego.com/, a one-stop shop for developers who are keen to learn more about developing for MeeGo devices. You can download the MeeGo SDK from there, get information on targeting and setting up devices, and there's some tutorials to get beginner's started on their first applications.

The "Getting started" section (http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started) might be of particular interest, and includes guides such as:

• MeeGo application development overview
  
• Getting started with the MeeGo v1.2 SDK for Linux
  
• Getting started with the MeeGo v1.2 SDK for Windows
  
• Create your first application: Hello World

For those without MeeGo devices but would like to try it out on their N900:

• Setting up the Nokia N900 for MeeGo Development

I've only found out about the site tonight thanks to twitter so I'm still looking around it, but it seems to have a lot of good info on there, and worth checking it out even for general Maemo and Qt development. Because Qt is common ground, a lot of the information is relevent to us here too

On the last competition wiki we had a section for information on getting started with development, I might add the above links into the new wiki if that's alright. ((Edit: Added section 9, Application Developer Resources to wiki)). Also during the last competition I made a few different tutorials showing newbs (other newbs, like myself at that time) how to create N900 applications with various technologies (there were tutorials for Qt, PyQt, Pygame). I think it would be real benefit to the community if one of us with a MeeGo device could create some tutorials that we could follow along with and ask questions on. I have a 2 year old Compaq notebook somewhere I'm going to find and see if I can install MeeGo on it, if that works out I'll create a couple of guides and link them here. Would anyone with a properly configured MeeGo device be interested in creating a tutorial or two? Since the last comp we've had Qt Quick and QML, so maybe something on that. And also something for the Maemo developer getting started with MeeGo, for example can we run the Maemo and MeeGo tool chain together? Any issues with that? How best to setup and target applications for both from the same development machine? etc etc.. In the meantime the guides etc on the developer.meego.com site will be there, please add some links to other guides/tutorials you've found that you think have been particularly useful too

Edit: Ive put a shout out on twitter for Maemo devs now working on MeeGo apps to share some experiences. Does anyone know any of the devs on here who are now making MeeGo apps? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.. which is a little worrying.. but there must be some It'd be cool if we can find a member that would be willing to assist with any questions our competition participants might have

((2 names so far, b0unc3 and tlaukkanen))

Edit 2: Sorry for the long MeeGo centric post, ofcourse we're welcome to forget all about MeeGo and stick to our Maemo guns when developing our competition entries - both Maemo and MeeGo apps are equally valid. Hope I havent confused anyone! Just thinking of those who'd be interested in the switch or testing their app on both platforms

Edit 3: looks like we got our first entry for the Fun & Strange section, and it's from friend of the contest Helex! N900 X-Ray!
