But I don't know where I'll be next year. Maybe I'll have married my girl, maybe we'll await our first child and I'll not be sitting in front of a PC but shopping Baby clothes, who knows?

What I want to say is that I'm not important as a person. It is the idea and the community around the idea.
Thanks - I'm just glad you didn't say "Hell no!" If circumstances change, you can always spend a little time but help out a lot by guiding others on how the competition works so there is a little continuity.

My thought was to keep at least one person who is now familiar with the voting process. It was not so easy to work that out this time - hopefully we retain what we learned so we don't go through as much trouble next year.

Or maybe we can do a 'Tizen Coding Competition' next year, if the project goes on
As far as I know Tizen doesn't support Qt officially. If we follow the rules of our Concil Tizen would disqualificate itself.
The reason I suggested Qt is that it is open source, community governed, and a bridge between Maemo and the future. Most apps in this competition were Qt, and Qt has a solid future even though Maemo (and Harmattan) face challenges in 2012. If Tizen officially supports Qt, then great, it can join the party - and the party doesn't change that much. (Same with Meltemi.) But if not, my personal feeling is HTML5 is too far afield from maemo.

Rather than addressing who additional might come in, should we think about who might be left out? Is there any concern about leaving gtk+ behind?
