We can do that, but all our devices apart from Felipe's donated N9 are already assigned as prizes to categories. Would you like to donate the devices?

This "Code Competition" has some details in its rules so the authors (eyes, isnotabigtruck and qole) can think their projects don't fit here.

The Maemo/MeeGo community can give them some invitation and motivate them to participate here.
I really don't see how we can be any more inviting, we're not too hard to talk with if there's any questions.. are we?

IMHO, these 3 projects & authors deserve a special category where the devices would be sent as soon as they agree, without waiting until September 2012.
But that's not a competition rcolistete!! It's not how the coding competition would ever work.

What you really want is a mini device program, within the coding competition, specially made for these 3 developers to 'win' 3 devices from our prize pool. I'm sorry, but we can't accomodate that for you

I'm also sorry to be so unhelpful because I know this cause means a lot to you. Might I suggest you try and source 3 devices from elsewhere? The original coding competition started off with no prizes other than £50 zehjotkah took a chance and asked and that's how we got all the great prizes from Nokia Try starting a thread, or starting a collection, or asking donations for your mini device program... if the community also agrees with you they will help you I might even donate myself
