Firefox Mobile Add-ons Challenge

Mozdev and Mozilla Europe are teaming up to sponsor a contest for mobile add-ons. The following post is from the Mozdev blog.

Here at Mozdev, we want to see more add-ons for Firefox Mobile (aka Fennec), so we are teaming up with Mozilla Europe to make a challenge. The task is straightforward. You need only at this time to propose porting your existing add-on to Fennec, or write a new one, with a commitment to finishing it (or at least having a solid proof-of-concept) in time for the Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend on 30-31 May.

REQUIREMENTS
(We are on a tight schedule and have logistics constraints, so apologise for the deadline and geographical restrictions)

Write a short proposal stating what your add-on name and current install location, why you think it would be useful to mobile browser users, and how you plan on going about implementing it. Send it to brian@mozdev.org by Friday 15 May, at 12:00 CET.
This challenge is only open to developers living in Europe.
The challenge open to current Mozdev project owners, and other developers who host their projects elsewhere.

PRIZE

10 developers will be chosen, and Mozilla Europe will sponsor your travel and hotel expenses to attend the Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend.
Entries will be judged by Mozdev representatives.
