The prize? A screaming Power Mac G5! The top ten will be announced at Apple's World Wide Developer (WWDC) Conference 2004, June 28-July 2. The top two from each category will also receive iPods. Anyone out there interested? You have until May 7, 2004 to enter."

  1. Kinda unfair this contest... by BibelBiber · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Unfair because the winner seems to be obvious. Take a close look at what this Ranger Rick has done so far: Ricks Blog on Qt/Mac
    That guy has almost completed porting KDE to Mac OS X. That is really cool stuff.

    He and his companios really deserve the G5 and iPods and whatever else is to win :-)

      Though RangerRick has done a lion share of the work (vastly more than probably the rest of us combined) there are a lot of other people involved in the project as well who have contributed a lot of time (Martin, IceFox,,ChArles etc..) albeit with less to show for it (with the exception of IceFox) I personally blame X11's virtual keyboard.....*damn you X11 virtual keyboard implementation*

      But yes, things are coming along quite nicely in the KDE-Darwin land =)

      Drop by and say hi! irc.kde.org channel=#kde-darwin or visit at KDE on Darwin HomePage

      We are always looking for help!
