== Introduction ==

The wait is over!

We are proud to announce the [[MeeGo Coding Competition 2011]]!

As successor it will follow the good example of the community driven [[Maemo Coding Competition 1|Maemo Coding Competition 2010]]. [http://flors.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/n900-coding-competition-a-grassroots-community-success/ Quim Gil wrote] a lot of good things about this "grass roots community success".

To make this year's competition bigger and better, we urge all MeeGo enthusiasts to organize events during the MeeGo Coding Competition 2011 in their [http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks Local MeeGo Network]. We are sure that Intel and Nokia are going to assist you doing that. Please [mailto:info@meetmeego.org contact us] to get in touch with Intel and Nokia.
<br />

== Categories ==

'''This List is still in a Draft state'''

There are 8 main categories for submissions:

*Business & Office
*Games
*Desktop (Widgets)
*Fun & Strange
*Graphics & Multimedia
*Location & Navigation
*Network & Communication
*System & Utilities

In addition, there is an extra category especially for those new to Maemo/MeeGo development:

*Beginners

== Competition Timeline ==

The competition runs from 01 April 2011 to 30 June 2011. After that no further submissions will be accepted and the winners will be elected by the community.

==How to Submit an Application==

To enter, simply submit your application via the competition submission page available at [http://competition.meetmeego.org/ http://competition.meetmeego.org/] and align it to one of the main categories[http://wiki.maemo.org/MeeGo_Coding_Competition_2011#Categories]. You will also need to provide some details for the judging thread, including at least 2 screenshots, a brief description of your application, and an outline of what work you personally completed on it.

Authors who mark their entry as 'beginner' will also have their application automatically entered into the beginner category.

Only applications entered through the submission page will be counted as valid entries in the competition. New participants are welcome to join at any time up until the closing date.

== Prizes ==

*Apart from the '''educational events''' and the fun at coding there is a lot more for you!

*Developers of promising apps will''' probably receive a MeeGo device'''.

*If you will be elected by the community as one of the main winners, you will '''be flown to the MeeGo Conference in November''' and stay at a nice hotel. There you will meet a lot of like-minded people to share ideas with, without having to pay a single cent!

*But even if you don’t win one of the main prizes, that does not mean you get nothing! We will have cash prizes this time, too, '''independent of sponsorship''' funds! Last time the community donated extensively, and about $1000.00 came together! Will we be able to beat the record-sum this year? [https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=H2GPET39E4JWU Your donation is just a click away]!

*The winning author of the beginner category will also receive a '''MeeGo application programming book''' of their choice to help develop their skills further (donated by Kojacker)[http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=991031&postcount=158]

== Donations for the Community Prize Fund ==

The following list shows all of the donations made to the community prize fund so far. If you would also like to make a donation please click the following link: [https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=H2GPET39E4JWU Donation via PayPal].

== Rules ==

To ensure that the event runs properly, there are a few essential rules:

*Only individuals may participate. Companies are excluded from the competition because of equity reasons.

*If you have coded your app in a team and you win one of the travels to the MeeGo Conference, your team has to designate one person as the winner.

*Any number of apps can be submitted and elected as winner.

*Apps must be uploaded as executable including at least two screen shots and a brief description on [http://competition.meetmeego.org the submissions website] to take part in the election. The applications have to run on default hardware running on an official version of Maemo or MeeGo.

*All applications, which are created and uploaded during the duration of the Competition will take part in the election. For existing programs, only progress which has been made during the Competition will be considered. When porting apps, only the work of porting will be considered, unless the original program is from the same programmer and was developed or extended in the Competition timeframe.

*Only users of [http://maemo.org maemo.org] and [http://meego.com meego.com] who are registered at the time of voting for at least four months are entitled to vote.

*There is no legal right to win.

More details regarding the election process to follow.

== App Developer Resources ==

=== Getting started with MeeGo application development ===

The MeeGo Developer subsite (http://developer.meego.com) [http://developer.meego.com/] is a one-stop shop for developers who are keen to learn more about developing for MeeGo devices. You can download the MeeGo SDK from there, get information on targeting and setting up devices, and there's some tutorials to get beginner's started on their first applications.

The '''Getting started''' section [http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started] might be of particular interest, and includes guides such as:

* MeeGo application development overview [http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started/meego-application-development-overview]

* Getting started with the MeeGo v1.2 SDK for Linux [http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started/getting-started-meego-v1.2-sdk-linux]

* Getting started with the MeeGo v1.2 SDK for Windows [http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started/getting-started-meego-v1.2-sdk-windows]

* Create your first application: Hello World [http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started/create-and-run-your-first-application-hello-world]

For those without MeeGo devices but would like to try it out on their N900:

* Setting up the Nokia N900 for MeeGo Development [http://developer.meego.com/guides/external/setting-nokia-n900-meego-development-0]

=== Getting started with Maemo application development ===

The Nokia Qt SDK is the official set of tools with everything needed to design and create applications for the N900 [http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/e920da1a-5b18-42df-82c3-907413e525fb/Nokia_Qt_SDK.html]. The [http://maemo.org/development/ development wiki] is a great place to start, it contains lots of code examples and development guides. The "Windows Python and Qt in 30 mins"[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663] thread is a great PyQt tutorial for beginners and will have you coding your first app in minutes, and here's a link to a tutorial from Linuxuser.co.uk[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/programming/develop-for-the-nokia-n900/].

The 'Developer' forum on maemo.org[http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13] is an excellent resource to find answers and ask questions of your own.

== FAQ ==

=== Spreading the word ===

====Q: Which Twitter Hashtag to use for this Competition?====
: '''A:''' Please use '''#mcc2011'''

=== Application requirements ===

====Q: It is obligatory to code in Qt?====
: '''A:''' No, it isn't, but it would make your life probably a lot easier because you will be able to reach more platforms. We encourage everyone to use Qt.

=== App/Application submission process ===

====Q: Where to submit my application?====

: '''A:''' There is an [http://competition.meetmeego.org Application submission page available]. This will be the only valid way to participate in the competition. [[MeeGo_Coding_Competition_2011#Participants|This list in the wiki]] is for information only and not valid for the competition.

====Q: Updates allowed during the competition?====
I have a new app in the repository, i am considering to apply for the contest.. If i submit it now, will that prevent me to upload further versions to the repos or here? (As it's a work in progress)

: '''A:''' No. you can upload updates till the end of the competition.

====Q: No Maemo/ARM platform?====
There seems to be no platform for '''Maemo ARM'''. What is the right choice if I wish to submit a Maemo application?

: '''A:''' Please use the [http://competition.meetmeego.org/platforms/8 MeeGo/ARM platform].

====Q: Who selects the category of the application?====
Will the developers select the category when they join the competition or will someone sort it into the correct category before the voting begins?

: '''A:''' They will choose the category for their app, but everyone should keep an eye on that. Before the voting process starts we'll check if every app is in a reasonable category, so that it is not possible to cheat by choosing the category with the lowest competition.

== Application proposal ==

If you would like to have an App but you can't code yourself, write it down here! Many devs are happy to get a new idea input.

| Ultimate Scanner
| N900 can be used as a scanner which has most of the features that a normal scanner has(not like FrontView app available right now). 
(''Question to the author: What does that "not like" mean ?!'')

| FourSquare Client
| FourSquare is a Social Media website
| It allows users to "CheckIn" to venues leaving tips for other users.CheckIn's are validated by Geo-Location, which is an essential element of any app.If the user is not deemed to be near the venue, the "CheckIn" will be disallowed
| There is 1 Current App for the N900 called '''Barriosquare'''[[http://maemo.org/packages/view/barriosquare/]] 
However this uses FourSquare's '''APIv1''' which will no longer be supported from August 2011.

All new FourSquare apps need to be written with FourSquare's '''APIv2''' Documentation here: [https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/]

| N900 Desktop Themer
| An app to export our desktop arrangements to a file so that it can be reimported by us or other later
| The 'themes' supported by maemo does not include the desktop. As you can see in this thread, lots of people have brilliant ideas in customizing their desktops. Now if these arrangements could be exported as a file that anybody an apply on their system...
| This is a maemo5 specific case.
|-
| 3D Racing Game
| Small 3D racing game with cars or hover crafts or anything that drive only horizontal (no 3d spaceship game)
| Doesn't need super graphics. Doesn't need many tracks/cars, only fun is needed. Gamegripper support (changing keys) would be good. If the player can shoot at something it will double the fun. A port of Torus Trooper would be the perfect match. ;)
| That game is very simple but makes lots of fun: [http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/tt_e.html Torus Trooper]

| Hildon UI for UAE4All Maemo edition
| UAE4All is a well functioning Amiga500 emulator ported by Smoku to Maemo5. It needs a new UI for being user friendly.
| Hildonisation of current UI. Possibility to change keys. Easy way to switch between keyboard/mouse/joystic modes, preferably on touchscreen during gameplay.
| Link to TMO thread of UAE4All: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50040

| Calendar item privatizer
| N900 default calendar does not support private items. These are useful for people that sync the calendar to a public/shared calendar database.
| N900 calendar database has a slot for showing if the calendar item is public/private, there just is no way to change this value in N900 (this can be checked for example by syncing a "private" meeting from Outlook and looking at the calendar database). So either a separate application or an automatic watch daemon is needed for marking an appointment private (might be doable by making a separete calendar (inside N900 calendar app) out of which all meetings are changed to "private" and copied to default syncable calendar.
| This case is N900/Maemo5 default calendar specific.

| Neverball/NeverPutt
| A port or a game similar to neverball/neverputt

+*Developers of promising apps will''' probably receive a MeeGo device'''.
-*If you will be elected by the community as the second main winner of one category, you will '''win a Nokia N900!''''
+*If you will be elected by the community as one of the main winners, you will '''be flown to the MeeGo Conference in November''' and stay at a nice hotel. There you will meet a lot of like-minded people to share ideas with, without having to pay a single cent!
 *But even if you don’t win one of the main prizes, that does not mean you get nothing! We will have cash prizes this time, too, '''independent of sponsorship''' funds!
