At FOSDEM we also announced a competition for the coolest hack using RDF, SPARQL and Tracker with the prize kindly sponsored by Codethink. The prize is a Google Nexus One.

After some discussion we’ve decided to open up the competition to everyone and extend the deadline to the 15th of March. So if this tutorial inspires a great idea, get it coded up and submitted! On #tracker on GIMPNet there are great bunch of hackers who can help you get your idea up and running.

There are no hard rules for the competition, we just want to see implementations of cool ideas. The code doesn’t have to be perfect, the only requirement is that the judges can check it out and run it on their systems. All entries should be submitted to tracker-competition@codethink.co.uk by the deadline.

Update!
Looks like I hit a bug in PiTiVi that caused the render to get mangled. I’ve rerendered and it should all be good now. If Vimeo is being slow for you , you can download the ogg here.

Edward, I promise to log a repro as soon as I can!
