Thanks!
Done

i was a little curious about why so many donations were coming in as anonymous, just to remind you all that you can put your username in a box on the donation page. It's can be a little tricky though, in that sometimes the box isn't there automatically on the payment screen and you have to click a blue '+' sign to open it. You deserve to be recognised on the bounty roll of honor for being so generous, so make sure you let zehjotkah know who you are!

For example, here's a screenshot of my donation for the previous competition. The box to put your maemo.org username should be on the left hand side, if not click the '+' sign to open it up.


After sending you'll get a confirmation code and an email, from Paypal, to your registered email address to confirm it.

Unfortunately we discovered last time that it's not possible to avoid Paypal fees, even with donations. If you are able to give a little more to help cover the fees of your donation that would be amazing, however it's not expected - the organisers will be genuinely very grateful for everything you contribute. For some ideas of what Paypal takes for a transaction amount check out the wiki, zehjotkah is listing the donations, paypal fees, and the amount into the bounty.

Staying on the bounty theme, has the prize split been decided yet zehjotkah? I don't notice it on the wiki. That's one lesson learned from the last time was to decide as early as possible so everyone knows how their donation will be spent.
