Xesam Future
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h
Description: Where do we go from 1.0? Apart from the already roadmapped items for Xesam 1.1 what should we look into? Paged search results, extensions to the query language, life on Mars? Mikkel will give a brief (7 min) recap of the things that has already been aired as well as a few personal ideas. After that the discussion is free. This BOF should be placed after the Xesam Design and Critique BOF.

Xesam Design and Critique
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h
Description: Voices in the community has aired dissatisfaction with the feature set and design of Xesam. We need to discuss this to get common understanding and to see if we can accomodate some of the problems. Mikkel will start out with a very brief (3-5 min) discussion on Xesam design principles. The participants will be expected to bring the bullets in form of concrete problems.
