14th Thank You Award Results

The QT4 library port team consisting of Evgeny Abdraimov, Anton Sokolov, Gerasim Troeglazov have won this round of the Thank You Award- Congrats! With it, some interesting applications have already been shown to run well such as the QT Demo Browser/Arora Web Browser, and Kadu IM application. The problem now is figuring out how to divide a shirt between three. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to ask the three to draw straws, as the fund's balance will be enough for just one more Thank You Award after this round; donations anyone??

We'd also like to thank the other participants in this poll. Sometimes the poll is biased towards the end user. Of course, without the contributions of the other devs, we wouldn't have a stable Haiku OS, or a QT4 framework...

*Update - thanks to some generous donations in the last couple hours, we'll be sending all three members of the QT4 port team a Haiku Golf Shirt!

In the coming days I'll be taking down the 'Haiku Wifi Bounty' donate-o-meter' and replacing it with a Thank You Award one. I'd like to raise enough funds to continue the project for at least another year, which would require 6*37.50 = $225 minus whatever the current balance will be after awarding these prizes - stay tuned!

Take note Haiku Inc. CafePress does not ship items to Russia.

What is so stupid is that they have Russia in their drop down table of countries to ship to, and then allow the order to be finalized. Later you get an email and they say the order was canceled, and have to call there to find out why. What a bunch of bull!

I'll be sending out the equivalent amount through PayPal I guess.

No Haiku products for Russians!


Very bad.

Wow, you can't even send money via PayPal to Russia:

Currently PayPal accounts in Russia are only able to send payments. This recipient is not eligible to receive funds.


Anyone have any other ideas what I could do?

No worries. Still PayPal and CafePress are not working with Russia. I don't know what to do. Any ideas??

First, try UK Cafepress with the order - may send to Russia since closer.

www.cafepress.co.uk/haiku_os.295451384#

Otherwise, you can
1) buy the golf shirts, have the order shipped to you and then ship them to Russia. CanadaPost has shipping calculator online ( will cost around $10 to $20 per package with lower priority ).
2) I believe you can send money order or bank draft, ask if they are international before doing this ($5 each)
3) Find another Paypal like site that works in Russia to send the funds

Other options, buy online Russian gift cards or buy them something from Amazon or other site, etc.

Do you live in Germany Karl?

ship it to you own address, and from there send it to Russia... Europe have many of tiny countries, I'll be fast

I live in Canada actually. Thanks for the tips. One of the developers emailed me. He's in Germany now, and I'll be shipping all three shirts to him, and he'll send them to the other two :lol:

Congratulations to the three winners! And big thanks to all the great candidates. No shame in losing against a Russian 3 guy tag team. :P
