Checklist

 * 3 days for the conference
 * Who will organise the schedule? A committee, the organiser, the council?
 * Lightning talks - a great success last year, we should have them again
 * Do we need a call for content?
 * If we have a call for content, what is the schedule for proposals & acceptance?
 * Themes? It seems like the core themes will be Fremantle & Harmattan
 * Schedule - what's the best way to handle planning & putting the schedule online? Wiki again? Or another solution?
 * Having used it in the past, I really like Expectnation, although it's not free software

Timeline

 * Decide on conference infrastructure and put it in place: ASAP
 * Decide on process for getting content: ASAP
 * Issue call for content if necessary: Mid June
 * Deadline for content proposals: Mid July
 * Presenters notified: Early August

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?
