Maybe the simplest approach is to organize different activities and agree on an amount devices to allocate for each.<br>
<br>
Instead of discussing THE criteria for allocating all those devices we could agree who organizes what and how many devices that activity is requesting.<br>
<br>
Also because it feels that it's not easy to pull resources for a full fledged seeding program. That takes a serious amount if time and energy, I can tell.<br>
<br>
We could have:<br>
<br>
- Competition. Focus on ADM / Extras / community repos. Put the N950s there. I have asked how many we have). Winners could have an option of getting an N9 instead.<br>
<br>
- Publish your OSS app at Nokia Store. The goal being to channel to all N9 users the good stuff that now lies elsewhere.<br>
<br>
- Your app in Qt 5. Show your Qt 4 app and your plan to demo it running in Qt 5 on N9.<br>
<br>
- Prizes for great <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> contributors in any areas: betatesting, infrastructure, forum/IRC support and engagement, promotion...<br>
<br>
Anything else?<br>
<br>
<br>
I could help directly on Nokia Store & Qt 5 since these tasks are closely related to my work and the reasons why I'm able to offer these devices. Who would want to step in for any of these tasks?<br>
<br>
The competition and the prizes for contributors are defined by categories, therefore it would be relatively easy to calculate the amount of devices needed. Then we could split the rest for the remaining activities.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div></div>OK, but I'd like to keep "Improvements in apps infra at <a href="http://maemo.org/" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> or the evolution of COBS" as one of the activities.<br><br>
I'd like to know if the timeline can be relaxed a bit, and also the number of devices. The Competition has a clear process (although it could be tweaked), and <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> can handle prizes for contributors. I'm not sure how Nokia Store & Qt5 would work, but what help would you want from <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> community for those - just to promote?<br>
