Second maemo.org/N900 coding competition in the works

Cosimo Kroll, one of the organisers of last year's successful "maemo.org coding competition" has mentioned that they're working on the infrastructure for the next competition, and are talking to Intel about a potential partnership: This site will make it easier to submit code/screenshots/description and let the user vote. Also we are in contact with Intel for a partnership (it looks really good). Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry for the lack of information. We plan to start the competition right after the mobile world congress. Your editor suggests ignoring the coincidence of "after MWC" and the Harmattan device announcement rumours. If he's learnt anything in the last five years, it's that holding your breath for the next device is not a good idea (you're likely to suffocate).

LWN editor "predicts" "MeeGo will be a surprisingly big success" in 2011

What Jonathan Corbet says almost always never comes true.

Android is increasingly looking like the Windows of the handset world - a universal operating environment which turns the hardware into a boring, low-margin commodity product. Manufacturers will be keen to see a competitor which allows them to differentiate themselves and to limit Google's control. Some of the commenters point to Eric S. Raymond's portrayal as webOS and MeeGo as "doomed, no-hopers".
