Title: Competition for programmers
Post by: Papiosaur on April 22, 2011, 03:13:06 PM

RELEC society in partnership with website http://www.meta morphos.org (http://www.meta%20morphos.org/) organizes a competition open to all programmers on the planet.

A development machine for MorphOS is to win: it's a EFIKA 5200B "DELUXE  EDITION", a unique prototype proposed by RELEC. The list of elements is  given later in this article.

Developers will send their proposal  of project (which must operate at  least on MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x) by  mail before May 31, 2011 at the  following email address: papiosaur2  [at] hotmail.fr.
The list of all projects will be posted June 1 at the site meta-morphos.org
Voting will be by mail to the same address before 1 July.
The voting results will be posted on the website from 1 July.

The development machine will be presented at the Alchemy 2011 (France) and it will be up when the project is finalized.
In  case of withdrawal or no results available after 2 months it will  send  the machine to the developer of the project ranked second, etc.  ...
If the winner needs to develop this machine, it will be sent after 1 July.
The  delivery of a diploma for "Best Project MorphOS 2011" will be   officially presented at the Alchemy 2011 that will take place from 11   November to 13 November 2011 at Tain l'Hermitage (26 - France).

The development machine is composed of:

- A EFIKA 5200B motherboard,
- a housing epoxy polished,
- a Radeon graphic card,
- a PSU,
- MorphOS 2.7 or higher with its license,
- the latest pack Ultimate,
- MorphOS SDK pre-installed,

It could be worse, imagine winning an Amiga One with unusable USB, DMA and more! :)

I've got my own ideas for this one. One involves a "ball n' button" input device that i can use to manipulate a GUI using only my hand. It's going to revolutionize pc's as we know it...  :idea:
