</div></blockquote></div><div><br>I agree on the device amount for the competition but didn't see anyone proposing an amount for the seeding itself. So I'm proposing 80 to get that discussion going. That would make the total number of devices 100. I think the seeding should be done like proposed earlier by providing a wiki page where people willing to get one need to add their details including past, current and planned contributions to the community. So pretty similar thing that Quim & co. used with the meego developer device program. And then the council decides who gets a device.<br>
<br>In any case I'd like to see the requirements for getting a device clearly documented (after there's a consensus for them) to the same wiki page. So I'd ask for Maemo.org user name with link to the profile, description of contributions with links to those and summary of future plans. So my main requirerement would be contributions that benefit the community. There's a lot of stuff that be contributed to the community and they should all have some weight. Contributions can be applications, other development, QA, helping people, communications (think about what people behind the weekly news are doing) or something else.<br>
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><font color="#ff0000">Basically agreed. I'd like to see future plans given minimal weight - it's hard to gauge promises, etc, and IMO these should be viewed as unexpected rewards/thank yous for those who have served the community. I think the time period should be the last year or two so someone who left the community can't claim a device based on service they did three years ago. If we could do it (and I know it's not feasible), I'd use karma over the last 1-2 years as a rough starting point (maybe drop tmo posts, but not tmo thanks) And by community contributions, we should clarify we mean the <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> community (no disrespect to Mer/nemo/qt/meego/etc). And I think we should allow nomination of others instead of just self-nominations, and community members to give +1s to the nominations of others on the wiki page. (mindful to determine that people can't receive a second device if they already have one)</font><br>

<br>This might sound like self evident but when it comes to free gadgets the
rules need to be very clear and the instance who has the final say clearly
definded (the council). And I also agree that in no situation should one single person be able to make the call on who gets a device or not. Therefore I'd wait until the new council has been elected (no disrepect to Rob intended).<br>
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><font color="#ff0000">I agree we should let new council (or a committee they select) decide who gets a device, but not wait on determining the criteria to be applied so we can meet the deadline qgil has requested.<br>
