Maemo-Barcelona Long Weekend/UX meets Code

About 50 community developers and user experience professionals work together during 3 days.

3 goals

 * Improve the usability and visual appeal of great Maemo apps.
 * Improve the UX documentation for Maemo developers.
 * Get a critical mass of people interested in pushing forward UX meets Code activities online and face to face.

Way of working
Every day has a similar flexible structure:
 * 9:00 - Starting with a briefing about the topic: presentation + Q&A.
 * 11:00 - About 2h discussion and collaboration on a real project.
 * 13:00 - Lunch
 * 14:00 - 2nd real project.
 * 16:00 - 3rd real project.
 * 18:00 - Recap
 * 18:30-ish - Enjoy the city!

All the activity happens in a big room (official capacity for 70 people).

The group activityon a project can happen in one side and you can be doing your own thing on the other side if you prefer. Free flow!

You should be able to find some time during the day to get some opinions and help from one of the experts about specific details of your project.
