We will be getting 10 developer rebates of 33$ from SmartDevices and this will be distributed in the following manner:
Stskeeps will be choosing the best 10 proposals, which will be evaluated on the merit of the proposal, previous contributions to the project, and the perceived skill of the person proposing it.
If you receive one of the rebates you will be able to, through a Singapore distributor to receive a SmartQ5 by paying 99 USD - shipping may not be included (not sure yet). You must pay taxes, VAT and customs cost yourself if your country imposes this on the device.
Retail price is 132 USD and you will be getting a 33 USD rebate. It is still unsure if you can get a 33 USD rebate for Q7 too but list this in your proposal.
Proposals will be evaluated when the procedure has been worked out. If you'd like to make a proposal in exchange for eventual rebate, be sure to have signed up for the Mer project as well (being on Mer/People). The rebates are for Mer team members only.
The proposals will be evaluated in the following manner:
Proposal will be evaluated in terms of the following items on a scale of 1 not relevant, to 10 most revelant.
- Weight 5: Improving hardware support (kernel, bootloaders, X, HAL, drivers, control panels, home applets, status bar applets)
- Weight 4: Using specific hardware features of the device (TV out, USB host/otg, SoC features)
- Weight 3: Improving the Mer platform on all devices.
- Weight 2: Perceived skill of contributor
- Weight 1: Past contributions to the Mer project.
