Any news from your sources regarding progress/start of ADC2 Round2 Tea- Party? I’m looking forward to taste at least 50 cups of tea out of 200 that will be offered.
Isn’t it taking a bit longer to review Round-1 scores? Though we are not in position to judge how complex it might get beind the scene to review 1219*103 scores. Yet, what’s your best guess that’s taking it so long? I believe best 200 apps are now identified and preparations are underway to provide these to expert-judges on 1.5 devices. If you missed ADC1, apps were deployed on 140 cloned- laptops(Ubuntu) and 115 of these were shipped globally. If you weren’t here during ADC1 and haven’t come across Dan’s ADC1 behind-the-scene post, you can find it here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/05/challenge-in-more-than-one-way.html Well that was pre-G1 era. Though devices are available now, I don’t think all “expert” judges will be able to discover the ADC2 judging app to start with. Also, community-judging app “as-is” may not be suitable for judging by the experts. They might not be allowed to skip a cup of stewed tea if it is offered by the app. ADC1 took great care to provide neutral and identical judging environment. Similarly ADC2 might provide a separate judging platform (1.5 device and a modified judging app) to expert-judges. When will the Round2 start? Calculating it in reverse chronological order. ADC2 ends by last week of November. Two weeks before that to collate the scores and get the winners list out. A cooling-off week to let the judging app stop accepting reviews from community judges. Two weeks to judge the apps after announcing the start of judging for Round 2 (which again might be cut short for same reason). So that brings us to expect Round 2 announcement either today or latest by next week. It’s appreciated that Adc2 has not seen any slippage from announced dates so far. P.S Tea isn’t my cup of tea. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
