To już dwa tygodnie, odkąd Canonical i sponsorzy rzucili kilka rękawic twórcom programów. Do końca regulaminowego terminu pozostało 6 dni, a nagrody w postaci laptopów System76 i urządzeń Nokia N9 nadal kurzą się w oczekiwaniu na zwycięską aplikację.
Twórcy tymczasem odpowiedzieli zmasowanym zgłaszaniem do konkursu programów przeróżnego przeznaczenia. Nie należy wymagać i oczekiwać, by w regulaminowych trzech tygodniach powstały rozbudowane projekty, lecz kilka z nich wygląda i zapowiada się wyjątkowo dobrze i z korzyścią dla użytkowników.
