juiceme_reinob o/22:09
eekkelundHi reinob!22:09
juiceme_fabulous, everybody's attending :)22:09
reinobfour of us :)22:09
reinobwanted to thank you guys for the organization of the competition. It worked very well.22:09
reinoband congrats to eekkelund for winning! :)22:10
eekkelundWe still have to make winners to choose the device and ship them:) And thank you reinob!:D22:11
eekkelundI was thinking to donate my prize back to Maemo Community e.V.22:12
juiceme_yes, the choosing/distribution is the next thing to do22:12
juiceme_eekkelund, !22:12
juiceme_but it'd make a good start for next year's compettion then :)22:13
reinobeekkelund: your decision. I think you've deserved whatever prize you get22:13
juiceme_indeed22:14
eekkelundHaha yeah! I would like to have Jolla1 Stella version and I could buy it. I have tablet and C and Aquafish andand Nnines, so don't need those :)22:14
juiceme_the stella thing was only on sale in mainland china I tink22:16
eekkelundIt was in Jolla store :) And I know person who could sell it to me :)22:16
pichloI promised to check with Mrs pichlo which of my TOH I can donate and she said all of them! ;)22:25
juiceme_neat!22:25
pichloThat would be one each of white, blue and black22:25
juiceme_since I'd like to see everybody get something22:25
pichloAs soon as I find the black one :(22:25
pichloHorrible mess in the house...22:26
juiceme_how do you feel about the chemist's idea of maybe giving out some kind of "discount coupon" towards a SFOS sony purchase or something like that?22:26
juiceme_the good thing in that idea is it does not incur any shipping costs :)22:26
pichloDon't we have enough prizes?22:27
juiceme_I thought about the raspb-PI's, but that does add up to some shoipping.22:27
juiceme_*unless*22:27
pichloI would be hesitant to sell hot air22:28
juiceme_if we do so that we oder PI's to willing partiipants so that we pay the board+shipping directly to raspberry company22:28
juiceme_pichlo, a good point too22:28
juiceme_but we *do* have such statement in the competition orders, "There is no legal right to win"22:30
juiceme_which I interpret as, we don't have to award more than what wh currently have, if we don't want to22:30
pichloSure, but I was talking about giving coupons for non-existent devices as prizes22:30
juiceme_so even hot air is some comfort :)22:31
pichloSomeone may take that because they may think it is worth more convenient than a blue TOH and thus forfeit their prize when it all goes pear shaped22:33
juiceme_ok, point well made22:33
pichlo'convenient'? Where TF did that come from?22:33
pichloi hate you, jolla keyboard!22:33
juiceme_hahaa, what did you *mean* to write?22:34
pichlo'worth more than...'22:34
juiceme_ok, so what about pi's, or pi-zero's or something?22:38
juiceme_I thikn pi-zero with shipping is not too expensive, would that suit as a prize?22:38
reinobhow much does it cost?22:38
juiceme_just a moment22:39
eekkelundpichlo, re TOHs, awesome! :)22:39
eekkelundjuiceme_ I am not sure if it is possible to order more than 1 zero at time. Last time I checked, it was out of stock everywhere :D22:39
juiceme_damn22:40
eekkelundNot sure tho22:40
eekkelundbut normal Pis are easier :)22:40
juiceme_zero's (just the board) is about 5 euros22:40
juiceme_normal pi's are about 40 I think22:40
reinobat amazon.de pi zero set (with charger, case, hdmi cable, card, etc.) for EUR 29.4922:40
juiceme_PI model b is 25 euros22:41
juiceme_and model 2B is a good device, I've got 2 of those :922:41
juiceme_so with shipping it'd be maybe 35-4022:42
eekkelundIf it is possible to buy zeros then +1 from me :)22:42
juiceme_have to check if those are available22:43
pichlodo people actually want pis?22:44
juiceme_hmm, at last I do :)22:44
juiceme_but I already got a bagful :)22:44
reinobgood question. In the end money is more useful (gives freedom to choose), but it's kinda less "romantic" :)22:44
juiceme_do you have anything better to suggest, maybe something more like a mobile device, that'd also be good idea22:45
juiceme_yes, and we did make the decision that no monetary prizes are to be awarded.22:45
reinobI guess the combination of "hardware device" and "cheap" gives always raspberry pi. There may be alternatives, but if we have to pick one then go for the "standard".22:46
pichloDunno. I thought we had enough prizes as it is.. I counted 17 in juiceme's email alone. That's plenty for the first 8 in each category.22:48
pichloI would not expect any prizes at all beyound the first 3 places.22:48
reinobhow many participants did we have again?22:49
reinob30+?22:49
eekkelund32?22:49
pichlo3222:49
reinobOK so we need to decide how many in each of the two categories get a prize (3, 8, 16..)22:49
pichloHow about, "as many as there are prizes"?22:50
reinobhaving 17 prizes my vote is for 8, unless we add 3 things (pi's or whatever) so get make it 10 which is round and nice22:50
reinobs/so get/to/ :)22:51
juiceme_any way we do it, someone is going to be a bit disappointed22:51
*** juiceme_ is now known as juiceme22:53
*** juiceme has joined #maemo-meeting22:53
pichloI don't se why disappointed22:57
pichloI would not expect any prizes beyound the 3rd pkace22:58
pichloSo anything beyond that is a bonus22:58
pichloThey should be happy, not disappointed!22:58
reinob+1. Like you said, I don't think anyone beyond 3rd prize has a reasonable expectation to get anything22:59
juicemeokay, it's settled then, we freeze the list of devices and let the choosing begin23:00
eekkelundWell.. when you put it that way.. :D But ofc it would be nice to have something for everyone23:00
juicemeeekkelund, that was my original thought, that everyone who participated would get something small to remember23:00
reinobI mean, we could just add 15 pi zeros and be all happy. But deciding on 15 "unique" additional prizes is maybe too much effort23:02
reinobmaybe be an incentive for future participants in future competitions :)23:03
pichlowe can give them thr hot air ;)23:03
pichloi mean sony coupons ;)23:03
juicemeheheh23:03
pichlowhatever we give the last 15, I would be reluctant to make it worth more than €1023:07
juicemesensible23:08
pichloreason being, there are some TOHs on the list23:08
juicemeand the problem *is* the shipping costs23:08
juicemecare to hazard a guess what does it cost to ship an used N9 from philippines to germany?23:09
juicemeas we did reimburse shipping for a donated device...23:09
pichloshouldn't be too difficult to find a philipino post service website to find out, no?23:10
juicemeoh yes, I know exactly what it costs, I just wanted to surprise you23:11
eekkelundSorry I have to go now.. From me +1 for zeros IF shipping wont kill us and Board agrees :)23:11
juicemeok, so we'll discuss this more23:12
juicemepichlo, so I'll let you out of your misery :)23:12
juicemeit is under 100 euros :)23:12
pichlonice ;)23:15
juicemeindeed23:16
pichlolooks like a good idea to keep the cash for shipping, then23:16
pichlosorry, gotta go now23:16
juicemeOK, till later then23:16
pichloparental duties23:17
reinobbye pichlo!23:17
reinobthen I suppose we agree that if shipping allows, we buy zeroes such that all participants have one prize23:18
reinobbut we don't know the shipping costs beforehand. We don't even know where the participants live (or want the prize to be shipped)23:18
juicemeyes, but I was counting on the fact that if we order the prize boards straight to recipient's address from the PI vendor, it would not cost so much23:20
juicemeas they probably have some kind of shipping deals23:20
reinobhopefully. we'd need to order them from the relevant shop (amazon/philippines or whatever :)23:21
juicemeas opposed to purchasing them and sending to recipients ourselves23:21
reinobbut yeah, it's probably doable23:21
reinobfor 32 prizes, we can assume average shipping of ~ EUR 10 (normally zero, sometimes 50 or whatever), so with EUR 300-500 we should be able to cover the shipping costs23:22
reinobit's still a lot of money, but OK23:22
juicemeyes23:22
reinobdo we consider this decided?23:22
juicemeI'd say so, let's however do a round of mails with it tomorrow23:23
reinobOK23:23
reinobI would then leave now. Good night and thanks again for all you've done!23:24
juicemenite all!23:37
