Nintendo DS Wifi Bounty
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005
The Nintendo DS WiFi Bounty is a project to generate freely available, license unencumbered internet connectivity libraries for the Nintendo DS, for use with a portable C or C compiler (primarily GCC.)
Bounty: $3,010.45 (and counting)
Success hinges around distributing source which can achieve TCP or UDP connections over IP to a wireless router through the NDS’ custom wireless networking hardware, as well as documentation for the hardware and a tiny demonstration application which verifies two-way communication with another TCP or UDP enabled device (presumably a PC.)
Programming skills: Portable C or C, the ability to develop embedded software, a familiarity with 802-group wireless technologies, and a familiarity with IP-based communications protocols.
Visit the DS Wifi Bounty site for more information

GNOME Bounty – Calendar
Monday, December 19th, 2005
GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following Calendar project is worth $2000:
Publish your calendar
Apple’s iCal has made “calendar sharing” popular. It’s a nice feature where any user can create a calendar of events and then publish it on a website, to share it with other users. Others can then “subscribe” their calendar application to that calendar file, and updates are automatically synced to their imported calendar whenever the master file changes. This makes it easy and convenient to share conference schedules, meeting times, club events, moving dates and times and so on.
Implement this calendar publishing feature in Evolution.
