Remember the Moovida-Mandriva dev contest we announced a while back? Well you have two weeks to submit your contributions for the chance to win some sweet prizes. We’ve already received great plugin submissions, but there are still so many possibilities out there we don’t even know where to begin… ok well actually we do, just make sure not to duplicate your efforts with existing Moovida plugins.

So what fruits have the dev contest brought so far? So far Vimeo, Arte and CNN will be available soon. Here’s a sneak peek of what type of content awaits on your Moovida Media Center:

• With Vimeo, you don’t need to search through thousands of crap videos before finding something worth watching. They’ve got gems of all kinds like this 5 second film:

• Arte offers audacious and artsy content in French & German, not to say weird. They also stream great live concerts.

• Dude, if you don’t know CNN, you need this plugin badly. It’s a little something we like to call news. Here’s a prime example of their high standards in reporting:

I’m pumped, are you?

Is it because Christmas is around the corner that people have been in the giving mood? We’ve been asked many times how to donate to Moovida. Who knew free software users would be so generous?

As we’re not the type to refuse special requests of this kind (who would?), we’ve put in place a PayPal account to facilitate your eagerness to shower us with cash, so we can spend it on lavish dinners and Champaign filled limo rides. Seriously though, all the money that you donate to Moovida will go towards providing cool contest prizes. This will spur more motivation amongst our community  to create more plugins, a win for all Moovida users.

If you’re not into donating and more into “collaborating” (as our business guys put so articulately), make sure to contact business development.
