I join the competition. I'm developing my first N900 and Qt application by Python. The application runs in the background and records GPRS traffic counters and there is UI which shows hourly, daily, weekly and monthly traffics. I guess this goes to category "2. System & Utilities".

I have submitted my first app. More useless than the fart app. It is called Old School, and you can read more about it in this thread (or just find it in the Desktop category of Extras-Devel). It is a Python app (PyQt), and I am hoping to write up a short primer on packaging a Python app so that others don't have to spend the two days I spent googling, downloading, testing, and struggling (and so people who actually know how to do it can correct me as well).

A quick AlarmD howto in the wiki would be wonderful to see. Some alarm functionality is in my plan as well, but I probably won't get to that feature within the next 2 months.

Great to see things moving on, plus we're well over 2000 views on the wiki 
We're still (yes, still!) getting the paypal situation sorted but let me know if you're happy to pledge that $5 and we'll add you to the list
If you have a spare moment, add yourself to the participants section of the Wiki page so we can keep track of your progress If you;re not sure how, let us know what details you want entered and someone will add you on there.
Good job!
And a short primer on packaging would be brilliant, I must admit there will probably be bumps in the next few weeks and packaging could be one of them. I've heard it can be a bit confusing at the beginning, Im sure a tutorial would help a lot!
Brainstorm or similar might be better sections to get more notice though..

There seems a be more than a few issues with those, Im not sure they are near ready for the limelight yet
For QtMultimedia issues, can it be replaced with pymedia.. somehow? 
I wonder how helex is getting on with using it, I hope he got over his stumbling block.. sounds like he has an interesting idea if it worksEdit: nevermind, I see you're helping each other out and he's having a look at GStreamer. If I remember right, the recorder app uses GStreamer. If it's just to get sound data in then it might do alright.

Qt, PyQt, PyGTK, whatever language you like as long as it's functionally complete, runs safely and easily on the n900. Don't make a virus kthx.
Im use to .NET, C, etc but not sure those can run on the N900.

Prizes
Nokia are kindly inviting the six winners (winner of each category) to the MeeGo Conference 2010, in Dublin, Ireland! Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by Nokia. If the winner is unable to attend, a n900 can be offered in exchange.

Anyways, in response to:
This competition is acting as motivation to help us take that "playing around' and apply it to make an "end user ready" application. Whether that counts as being good enough to be worth a bounty or not, that's up to the community ppl to decide, but in my mind it makes perfect sense for the goal of this contest which was to get more apps out there for N900 users. Getting new developers onboard is awesome too, but I think the content should be helping to push both goals.
(And you know, competition or not... if anyone including "the direct competitors" need some coding help or API assistance/etc... especially with that ellusive AlarmD interface... we're more than happy to share what we know and help out! The whole point isn't to get the reward, it's to help build the devel community!)
And one more point... Spenc3 and I are working on a few different apps, so yea we might have a bit more coding background/experience, but we're also trying to help push more apps out there because of it!
