Maemo Summit 2009/Organization

Conference checklist
Organisation of the conference splits nicely into a number of distinct subsets. Quim Gil did a really great job of tracking the organisation of the Maemo Summit 2008, which made coming up with this list much easier:


 * /Location - including required facilities, catering
 * /Infrastructure - streaming, wifi, electricity - our requirements
 * /Content - Conference presentations, lightning talks
 * /Registration and /Sponsored travel - who is coming, who will have their travel covered, required infrastructure for registration, what is the procedure for payment of expenses
 * /Merchandising and printing - All the Maemo branded stuff we will need for the conference - suppliers, cost proposals, deadlines
 * /Marketing
 * /Social events
 * /Accommodation - collect accommodation options & prices
 * /Travel - How to get there? Maps, travel advice & tips

Contents
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?

Live blogging
I think there should/could be:


 * Two people for posting photos and briefing for each talk in a blog (will be there a summit webpage?)
 * On each talk there should be at least one person posting on twitter/identi.ca/jaiku about what's happenning (creating a microblogging chat), also linked to summit webpage
 * IRC channel on Freenode.

Live streaming
Several solutions:


 * Qik for live streaming from mobile phone (Nokia has already use it on an event)
 * Fluendo technologies?
