Anyone knows how to transfer money to russia?
I've some problems regarding that.
PayPal is not allowing transfers to Russia and I don't know how to use my normal bank account because German bank accounts always have a number, but Russians not?

The negative sentiment after this competition is for me:
Many projects were only developed especially for this competition and now they are lying there incomplete and imperfect.
Only three examples:
The competition was great. It brought us a couple of great new applications and ideas to our platform. But now we've got several unfinished projects and the developers are disappeared.
I have only posted to inform the community about my feelings. What do others think about it?

- ApMeFo from Nathraiben - Last Post: 09-Aug-10, 22:28
(great project, a promising solution announced for one of the biggest issues of her software, but never seen again after the coding competition) - Metre App by Klen - Last Activity: 30-Aug-10 16:57
(is this user also fallen off the face of our maemo earth? His project seems to fallen asleep anyway...) - Detroid by destroid - Last Activity: 17-Aug-10 21:14
(he promised new levels and powerups for his game if he will win the contest, but now he has not the first place and he was never seen again)

But after all, people are doing these programs for free and spending their own time on these.

there are some extended hackfests being discussed for before the Meego summit.
I mentioned on there wondering whether the prize winners would be able to come along and get involved.
http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=1342
Projects ebb and flow, sometimes there is intense action, other-times calm.
We have some good solid applications advanced through this competition and seen some others evolve towards a better goal.
If you want to know about a project, ask the developer.
If you notice something wrong or something you can help with - get involved.
I know hrw and a few other guys in #maemo irc are looking at a clean front end for ApMeFo menus; what can you do to help?

This one was really successful, it'd be a shame to only do it once. A well known, annual competition event would strengthen the community and let people prepare really cool stuff in advance!

Yes we want to do it again.
I'm waiting for MeeGo Conference if there will be something that would influence the competition.
That would be then a six month period for competitions.
Also we will need some help.
For example:
Who is willing to take care of the wiki?
Who is willing to do the treasure-related things?
Who does have the best connections to potential sponsors?
I think the competition after the next one (next one will be: Winter 2010/2011 maemo/MeeGo coding competition) will be hosted on meego.com.
BTW: here you can watch a presentation I made resuming the last coding competition and some thoughts about future ones: http://meetmeego.org/home/das-wetab-...lles-passierte
Of course you can start to post your ideas already today!
Thanks for your interest and help!

In case anyone wonders how does MeeGo Conference "sponsorship" from Nokia works:
I need to pay for myself and they will reimburse me the cost afterwards.
Regarding my recent deals with Nokia, I'm not fond of trusting them again.
Anyhow, I send the cost of my proposed flight to Quim Gil for approval and haven't heard from him since.
What a great prize from a great company, I tell you...
