I noticed the competition event too late (of course my fault) and currently code as much time as I can, but afraid won't do it in time.
Sorry norayr, ofcourse we want you in our competition too but we got to stick to the deadline we got

Just try to get as much done as you can, and as long as it does something and is tested to be safe then we'll probably find a place for it So hopefully you can save a few corners with the functionality and get it completed in time - good luck

Thanks In Advance!
No problem, I'll do that now Don't forget to submit it through the form http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Codi...an_Application

@ all - by the way, I need to talk to you all about your submissions. There isn't a problem, but you might all hate me anyway

Quite a few of you have done really good and lengthy details on your applications. In reality, in the voting thread there could be less than 10 lines per entry. If you imagine this equation .. (1 app details + screenshots) * how many entries = a very long thread.

Please try to keep the details in your submissions fairly concise. Otherwise you'll find when your entries are posted they could be really edited down. So hopefully you can add all the great instructions and details you've done onto your announce threads, then i can link to that from each entry in the voting thread.

To put it into context, there is one entry I copied and pasted into a TMO forum post just to see and that one entry alone was too many characters to submit!

By the way, there's no need to submit your application multiple times with minor detail changes. Once you've entered you will remain entered, relax! Just email me the final changes you want after Sunday if you like There will be time for you all to check over your entries and ask me to update them with whatever details you want later. As long as your initial submission is in for your application before the deadline, minor things can be changed later.

These are the things I MUST know (if they have changed from your original submission) before the Sunday midnight deadline:
  • Application Name
  • Category
  • Developer Name and/or Username

Pretty much everything else is 'details' and they can be updated later.

Edit:
With 2 days to go, here are the current 'scores on the doors'. The first number is registered in the wiki, the number in () is submitted.
  • Desktop, System, & Utilities: 25 (8)
  • Games, Graphics, & Multimedia: 31 (8)
  • Location & Navigation: 8 (1)
  • Network & Communications: 19 (7)
  • Other: 13 (8)
  • Updates: 17 (11)

and 2 TBD

Location & Navigation continues to disappoint with only one confirmed submission so far, I've sent out an SOS to the world

I will resist the temptation to smash my phone and see if I can get some vacation time tomorrow or something to work on it. I'm busy this weekend so I will have to be finished by tomorrow night.
Did you have any luck with this rfeese?
