Or maybe we can do a 'Tizen Coding Competition' next year, if the project goes on

Because of this I said "full featured Linux" - not Dalvik VM.

I would prefer to continue using Qt - but perhaps we could ask the developers if they would switch to html5 especially for our competition.

As far as I know Tizen doesn't support Qt officially. If we follow the rules of our Concil Tizen would disqualificate itself.

As of today: most probably, yes. The feeling I had when finally we got the final results I would describe as a huge (I mean really huge) soap bubble exploding into millions of smaller ones, which some seconds later are exploding into a double rainbow (all the way!)...

But I don't know where I'll be next year. Maybe I'll have married my girl, maybe we'll await our first child and I'll not be sitting in front of a PC but shopping Baby clothes, who knows?

What I want to say is that I'm not important as a person. It is the idea and the community around the idea.

edit: but I won't volunteer again for sure if some of you will continue to write my nick with an upper case "z"! :P

Qt would be one option... Let's not forget that Meltemi will be built on Qt as well...

Would love to tell you more but I'm under NDA. :/

Well, Harmattan should still be there next year - that's a solid target by itself IMO.
  • good old Maemo is not really going anywhere + there was even a stable CSSU release recently and an in-progress Harmattan QML Components port
  • Nemo, Plasma active - also possible targets, though without corporate backing
  • Tizen - also possible target, thought its a bit too quiet about it
  • Meltemi - ?
  • Other - SHR, Ubuntu, Archlinux, Hackable might also become a viable mobile Linux platforms some day in the (near) future...

Thanks - I'm just glad you didn't say "Hell no!" If circumstances change, you can always spend a little time but help out a lot by guiding others on how the competition works so there is a little continuity.

My thought was to keep at least one person who is now familiar with the voting process. It was not so easy to work that out this time - hopefully we retain what we learned so we don't go through as much trouble next year.

As far as I know Tizen doesn't support Qt officially. If we follow the rules of our Concil Tizen would disqualificate itself.
The reason I suggested Qt is that it is open source, community governed, and a bridge between Maemo and the future. Most apps in this competition were Qt, and Qt has a solid future even though Maemo (and Harmattan) face challenges in 2012. If Tizen officially supports Qt, then great, it can join the party - and the party doesn't change that much. (Same with Meltemi.) But if not, my personal feeling is HTML5 is too far afield from maemo.

Rather than addressing who additional might come in, should we think about who might be left out? Is there any concern about leaving gtk+ behind?

I didn't expect that. Thanks to all participants on both sides of the voting booths for making this competition such a success (both in general and personally )!

As required, the Nine Men's Morris game is available in the Ovi store: http://store.ovi.com/content/178163.
And if there is anything you dislike about that application, I'd be happy to hear about it, for example here.

Oh, by the way, b0unc3 - is it to late to ask if it is possible to get a N900 with a german keyboard layout?

I think it's not possible, BTW I'll ask and let you know.

fyi
I haven't got all the information from all 1st prize winners.
So I asked my admin to send me the database of competition.meetmeego.org some days ago. No answer yet. If I won't get the database until tomorrow I'll try to figure out which the nicknames of the missing winners are here over at the forum, to contact them via PM.
I want to send the information to Nokia in one piece. It wouldn't look good if I'd write: "well, here are the first three, maybe tomorrow you'll get the next two. And then some later..."

edit: got the database.
