[maemo-community] N9 device seeding activity

[From: Cosimo Kroll]

Last time we had 9 N9s, and 9 or 10 N900s. Plus some Intel MeeGo devices
which weren't announced as prizes and went to developers who already were
able to show something.

aside as prizes?  Please let us know if you have a recommendation for who
should do it this year.
