[iRail] Sony developer contest: "Connected Things!"

Tue Nov 2 22:22:24 UTC 2010

I'm very interested !!
Point is having the time of course. After my series of tests, I'll have to
work on bada betrains, then another series of tests are coming, then it's
studying time for the exams in january :p. But of course if we have Pieter,
and some other ppl with the know how, I could solely be a small help in the
beginning and help coding in early 2011.  So count me in if someone else is
interested !!

> The winning team of each stage (Stage 1-3) will be awarded with mobile
> phones. Details about the Stages will be posted here<http://www.ericssonapplicationawards.com/stages/>
>  I just read the rules,
> http://www.ericssonapplicationawards.com/rules
>
> The one that is annoying is:
>
> The submitted application must be an original work (i.e. it shall not have
> been published or made available for a third party).
>
> But I deeply think there is no problem because EuroTrain and the timetable
> that change depending location is totally different from BeTrains. We can
> also add some easy features that will make it unique.
>
> And the second one is the "team",
> We have choice between students and companies
>
> §2.1 The Contest consists of two (2) competition categories, the Student
> Category and the Company Category. Participation at Ericsson Application
> Awards 2011 is open - in respect of the Student Category – to individual
> students of higher vocational and academic studies, and – in respect of the
> Company Category – to companies which has no more than one hundred (100)
> employees world wide.
> §2.2 Each competing team must consist of 2-4 persons.
>
> I think that we have 2 choices, 1) we need to register iRail as a non
> profit company asap (seem problematic)
> 2) you do that as students and I just give you some help.. (as the rules
> are very light, I think there is no problem to get any help)
>
> I strongly suggest option 2
>
> Are you interested with that stuff?
>
> Please tell me and we will do something huge.
