Good to see your progress coming along


Also, hope this is not too much off-topic, might interest some competition entrants though:
<thread hijack>
Openmobility together with Nokia Czech Republic is holding an international summer competition for new Qt & QML application for Harmattan called Openmobility Be Qt Summer Contest . According to the organizers, it is possible to enter both competitions with the same application:

Fro more information, see the TMO thread or competition announcement[en].

That's good news too, though I really wish they had arranged their competition for a different time. A little before or after this competition would have been perfect, or indeed why not a winter competition? If we'd have had some advanced notice perhaps we could have integrated both competitions and complimented each other a little better, but oh well.. maybe next time

I was wondering, are the organisers of the Openmobility competition members of maemo.org? Seems a little strange that they would arrange their competition for pretty much the same time period as we hold ours. I don't mean that as a criticism of them, they need to do what is right for them, but I think the wider Maemo community missed a better opportunity if things had been organised a little differently.

Also I feel we're a much larger competition and it shouldn't affect us too much, but then I notice things like some N9 blogs posting the Openmobility competition announcement but not our own. Maybe I just don't want out coding competition to have a competition of it's own Maybe next year we'll have a summer competition for coding competitions

Anyways best wishes to the Openmobility team, anything that rewards developers is all good

Edit: by the way I'm just wondering, cos I also highlighted the Openmobility competition on this thread when it was announced. Have they announced our competition on the Openmobility site/forum? It would be good if we supported each other efforts.

Edit2: I'm still waaay behind on answering pm's
