ADC 2 Judging Has Begun!

Posted by Eric Chu, Android Mobile Platform on 24 September 2009 at 1:15 PM

I am happy to announce that Android Developer Challenge 2's first round of judging has begun!

As a reminder, user voting determines which apps will make it to the second round. Voting will occur through an application called Android Developer Challenge 2, which is now available for download from Android Market. Android Developer Challenge 2 presents apps for each user to download and score according to a set of criteria, such as originality and effective use of the Android platform, among others. The first round of judging will last at least two weeks from today. Judging will continue until we receive a sufficient number of votes to identify the top 20 applications in each of the 10 categories (200 apps total) that qualify for the second round.

During the second round, judging will occur through a combination of user voting and input from a panel of industry experts. User voting will continue to occur via Android Developer Challenge 2 and will account for 40% of the final score that each app receives in round two. The remaining 60% of the final score will be determined by the industry expert panel.

It has been a little less than a year since the first Android-powered phones became available. Today, there are more than 10,000 applications available in Android Market. We are pleased by the energy and commitment demonstrated by developers in such a short period of time. Our goal with Android Developer Challenge 2 is to inspire the developer community to produce even more innovative apps for Android. Now on to the voting!

B4E Team 參加台灣經濟部工業局 Mobilehero - Android 鄉民報馬仔 手機軟體 ( B4E Team develops the "Civil Reporter" system on the Android platform )

Whenever a citizen notices noise pollution, violation of traffic regulations, garbage dumped at the wrong space, or anything else decreasing the quality of life or endangering public security, he or she can use the "Civil Reporter" system to take a picture, record the video clip, or record the surrounding sound to directly report violations. The "Civil Reporter" immediately transmits the report to the authority to follow up. It utilizes the Android’s GPS or Cell ID technology to locate the user and the reported event. The "Civil Reporter" enables citizens to participate in the public affairs conveniently and timely.

We welcome interested NGO, NPO, media and social entrepreneurs to get in touch with us to learn more details about our Civil Reporter system. We can be reached at Android.B4E@gmail.com

======================================

B4E Team (http://androidb4e.blogspot.com/ ) 參與2009 台灣經濟部工業局 所舉辦的 Mobilehero 比賽http://www.mobilehero.com/ 的題目。我們利用了Android手機的軟硬體特色、以及Google AppEngine雲端計算的輔助，完成此項應用軟體。

當民眾發現噪音污染、重大違規停車、大型垃圾亂擺等影響生活品質或生命安全的事件，民 眾可選擇拍照、錄影或錄音，透過自動擷取Android手機的GPS或基地台定位的經緯度資訊，將事件訊息立即通報給管轄單位，以讓處理單位快速掌握事發地點與現場概況。 鄉民報馬仔的重點特色是讓民眾簡單使用、快速通報。藉此加強熱心民眾積極參與公眾事務 。

因這個題目並沒有入圍Mobilehero初賽，故部分發展階段將有所調整。

如果您是非營利組織、媒體網站、或社會企業家，對此項應用也有興趣，想多瞭解的話，歡迎聯繫Android.B4E@gmail.com

以下是本軟體的情境範例影片，目的為彰顯鄉民報馬仔可強化現有機制的功能特色，並無影射任何有提供1999服務的縣市政府，台灣有提供此便民服務的品質是相當好的，這一點要為有提供相關服務的各政府機關拍拍手！

Following is a sample video to demonstrate the functions of Civl Reporter.
