As we can see here, the Community Awards has not given any awards for eyes (NITDroid for Harmattan), itsnotabigtruck (Inception for Harmattan) and qole (Easy Debian/HarmChom for Harmattan).

A partial solution would be the 3 above authors participate in the "Coding Competition" which has 25 devices (N9/N950) to be awarded in September 2012.

See my arguments about how important are Easy Debian, Inception and NITDroid for Harmattan in post #286, post #291, post #300 in "2012 Coding Competition" topic.

As the "2012 Coding Competition" has :
- only one category, "Updates and development on existing apps (2 N950, 1 N9)", with only 3 devices to include any updated software, which fits Easy Debian, Inception and NITDroid;
- a long deadline to choose the winners, September 10th 2012;
and the 3 authors need the N9/N950 devices as soon as possible (with the risk of their projects being stalled or not motivated at least), then I am proposing :

Some community members to donate N9/N950 devices to eyes, itsnotabigtruck and qole :
- for example, Summer'12 Devices already won but not yet sent by Nokia (my case a N9 from the "New Apps for Nokia Store" activity). I contacted qgil and it is possible, just contact qgil to divert your award and write here (this topic) about doing it;
- or any other community member who is not using his/her N9/N950 and willing to send it to the 3 authors.


I will make the 1st step :
- I am donating/diverting my Nokia N9 (award from "New Apps for Nokia Store" activity due to "SymPy Interactive Shell" software) to itsnotabigtruck. If possible, somebody (from "Community Awards" or "Coding Competition") could help to exchange the N9 for a N950, as a N950 was the preference of isnotabigtruck.


So, anybody could donate a (award) device to :
- eyes who needs a N950 to test NITDroid compatibility with N950, have 2 devices to develop, because eyes only has one N9 (bought with donations from all over the world) to develop and test NITDroid;
- qole who needs a Nokia N9 because his N950 (from 2011 Nokia Device Program) has (its screen) broken some months ago so Easy Debian for Harmattan development can stall
?


2012/07/10 Update : itsnotabigtruck and qole declined the Nokia N9 donation. I am trying to exchange my N9 award for a N950 (award from other user) without success. If a N950 is obtained, it could go to e-eyes.
