maemo.org summer coding competition

kojacker has officially announced a coding competition for the N900, intended to bolster the development community and deliver some cutting edge applications in six categories. The prizes, to be decided by forum poll from the entrants, include a donation pot (so far standing at over $150) and travel & accomodation paid for, by Nokia, to the MeeGo Conference in Dublin in November.

Are you bored waiting for new games to be released for your n900? Is your forehead wrinkled stressing about the lack of applications in the Extras repository? Does the emptiness of the Ovi store make you urinate in your sleep? And do you call out your mother's name when making love to your girlfriend because of step 4 of 5 disappointment and unrelated mental issues? Well now YOU can change that, my friends! Introducing the first ever N900 Coding Competition!

The competition runs under 21st July 2010, and there is plenty of time to get submit your application to one of the categories.

Brainstorming maemo.org's future

Following the maemo.org team review meeting, it was decided to hold a 7-day brainstorm to set some high-level goals for the team - and the community - to get stuck into for the next six months. Ryan Abel, one of your editors, introduced the brainstorm on the Community Council blog: In 2008, after maemo.org started transitioning to community control, we had a 100 Days brainstorm to help shape the direction of maemo.org. The results of the 100 Days were very positive, and as we're going through a similar sort of shakeup here with MeeGo (if less immediately positive), we'd like to repeated the brainstorming process for the next 6 months. To that end, everyone in the Maemo community is invited to participate in a brainstorm over the future of maemo.org and threads have been created at talk.maemo.org for each of the main areas of the website and community. Only a few hours are left, so get stuck in with your ideas on how to improve maemo.org, the Maemo community, and thoughts for how, if and when we can transition to MeeGo.
