Purpose
Thanks to Nokia's '12 Device Program (see TMO thread), we have 25 devices for Community Awards (10 N950's and 15 N9's).
The purpose of these awards is to recognize people that, for months/years have contributed, and continuously contribute, to Maemo Community.
Candidates
Unlike other programs, target audience of Community Awards aren't only developers. Suitable candidates include (also) dedicated testers, helpers, hardware modders, contributing participants of brainstorms and so goes on.
Usually, it's a mix of all presented above.
Submissions
Any member of maemo.org can self-nominate to receive one device, from the Community Awards program. Accepting submissions will start at Monday, 28 May, 00:00 UTC, and will last for 3 weeks.
Only self-submissions are allowed, and they will be valid only if made via community mailing list. Submissions may contain rationale/"my life story with Maemo"/whatever, but it's not required as the Council will check history of contributions from candidates.
Submission must specify, if someone is interested only in N950 or N9 (so, in case of not enough devices of preferred type, he/she will receive no prize), or will be satisfied by any type of prize.
People that already received N950's in any form before (dev programs, etc) can't submit for / receive another one, but they can submit for N9.
Criteria
Council will choose winners in it's discretion, in no more than a week time (so winners will be announced no more than 4 weeks after starting receiving submissions) - could be less.
Community Awards are granted for past deeds, so no future projects/promises, etc are took into account by Council.
