Principles for defining the schedule

 * Defaulting to three tracks for Users (Transformatorhuis - big), App Developers (Machinegebow - medium) and Platform Developers (De Kapel - small). Exceptions can be made of course but the idea is that each profile should have a suggested session to go at any time.
 * Keynotes and Lightning Sessions are organized in Transformatorhuis without other activities at the same time.
 * The tiny lovely Oostelijk Meterhuis is available for longer sessions with 25 people or less e.g. a 2h workshop. De Kapel can also serve that purpose if needed.

Timeline

 * Decide on conference infrastructure and put it in place: DONE: Using Wiki
 * Decide on process for getting content: DONE: Call for content + committee to choose presentations
 * Issue call for content if necessary: DONE: Call for content issued, we need to do some more communication work & get proposals
 * Deadline for content proposals: September 13
 * Presenters notified: On going

Suggestions

 * I think that 2009 will be Fremantle year, so I expect a summit focused on:
 * New technologies showcase (i.e., what can be done with clutter?)
 * New hardware features
 * And I would add one or two roundtables to talk and discuss:
 * What's next?
 * What about past hardware? What about third party development?
 * Would you like a Maemo App Store?
 * —jsmanrique


 * Mer would like to talk about bringing as much of Fremantle as possible to older devices and how it works with Nokia and the community. Would there be interest in:
 * Talks about Mer?
 * Mer's development SDK/processes?
 * Hands-on Mer development sessions?
 * Mer/Maemo/Garage/Nokia integration (although this is already a fast moving target)
