E.

I've sent a PM to SD69. Let us see what will happen

I was going to link it to: http://maemo.org/community/council/maemo_elections/ but the details were incomplete (no links to wiki pages, TMO discussions, etc). I wish there was a better blog entry with all the details, similar to the following: http://maemo.org/community/council/m...eptember_2011/

If there's a better link, let me know.

Quim and Chanse,

I've been brainstorming over how I can increase interest both in my new
community magazine venture (http://post404.com) as well as Nokia's platforms. I think I have a good idea.

I'd like to develop 2 articles, one called "The Case for Nokia and Qt" and
the other titled "The Case for Nokia and Windows Phone". The articles
won't be judgmental, but rather designed to stimulate productive community discussion.

I would like to offer a prize to a random commenter on each article. I
will be using a Wordpress plugin designed for such contests. Comments will be moderated: no spam allowed, and every comment posted must be on topic and move the dialog forward (as judged by post404 moderators, although you may each have input also if you like).

The prize for the Qt contest would be an N9 (if available) while the prize
for the WP contest would be a Lumia 800. I will promote this heavily and
get others to do so as well.

Note that I am comfortable writing each article, objectively, but if you
have suggestions for other writers I am open.

So... what do you both think? Will this fly? Personally I'm excited about
this idea (of course it IS mine). But I'm interested in your opinions.

Thanks,

Randall (Randy) Arnold
Nokia Developer Champion, post404 Editor in Chief

fwiw I'm discussing device seeding activities with the Maemo/MeeGo community at the maemo.org Community list. That includes not only a code competition but also 'community awards' for other contributors profiles e.g. testers, helpful forum contributors, etc.

I rather focus all the N9 activity in that context. You proposal is interesting but opens the door to many similar requests and (at least from the N9 side) I don't see us handling that.

Then again, if you want to direct this proposal to the Maemo community (council), we will basically allocate an amount of devices for them to decide.
