Kojacker, We discussed this with X-Fade today in #maemo-meeting. His primary concerns were time for setup and the amount of e-mail generated based on last year's CC. I've been able to offer help on both of those, and it seems with a small patch & time I'll donate, we will be able to offer you the use of the voting machine for CC! There is one caveat: Unlike last year, this time everyone will get one e-mail with a single token. The same token will be usable once in each competition/election. This means you will have to enter the same e-mail and token for each election. This also waits on X-Fade reviewing/testing the code changes I made to one of the scripts and committing them to SVN. But the changes are rather small, and needed for the next Council/Board combo election too. It is very likely I will be setting up the voting machine tables for the competition to help reduce the amount of manual work/time X-Fade needs to commit. So when you do have your entry lists, please carbon me (or Council) on the e-mail with the list.
I spent several hours trying to create a package tonight but have not been successful. I'm submitting a tarball. Hopefully that is acceptable. I tried using the submission form but it didn't seem to work, so I sent mine in via the email address.
It's a shame that we have just a single submission to such an interesting category but in general the interest in the competition is high in all other categories. Btw I had some ideas for location&navigation apps but I didn't have time to implement them.

Oh jeah, packaging is a pain. I ported my worst coding competition contribution 2012 this morning to maemo5. ... I got it fixed at some point and the packaging works but because I passed already the big 30 I'm unable to remember what went wrong the last times.
Just submitted my application meewod for the competition.
I finally found my bug why I was unable to upload to extra-devel! The evil side of the force was it! I had a svg file with M$ (for a company in Redmond) in the file Name. My app worked fine. But the py2deb python file was unable to work correcty because of this small $ symbol. ARG!
Kojacker, would you please update my entry? My contribution is not anymore a N9/50 only app. It is now also availiable for the N900. Is this post enought or should I write you a short mail?
I just submitted my app Kana of The Day ...{snip}... By the way, I had done some Qt projects before, but this is the first one for Maemo. Things like d-bus and packaging really killed me. So literally I'm eligible for beginner entry. However thinking there are people more 'beginner' than me my morals didn't let me choose the 'Beginner: Yes' choice. Please contest leaders (Kojacker?) determine my status.
My simple game is also available for both N9 and N900 (not in extras-devel yet). If anyone in the competition hasnt seen it yet, its here. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86374. Currently im mid-game with kojacker!
I just updated the wiki to include my submission. I am having trouble uploading it to Extras repo though. Keeps saying I do not have a valid .changes file. The file was generated with pypackager. Any tips or anyone have a .changes file that is working that I could compare mine to?
