Session Drafts
This sections lists all BOFs, Hack-sessions, or other gatherings drafted for the hackfest.
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.
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
- Sebastian Pölsterl
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.
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
- Jos van den Oever
Xesam MetadataStorage API
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h
Description: Xesam has long been promising to adopt a DBus interface to store and read metadata. Draft this API. There are baby steps towards this at [Xesam's iteration 2 page]
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
- Anders Rune Jensen
Xesam Index API
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h
Description: Xesam has long been promising to adopt a DBus interface to the metadata of the index itself, ie retrieval of unique terms, counting of terms etc. Draft this API. There are baby steps towards this at [Xesam's iteration 2 page]
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
Desktop Search Status report
Host:
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h
Description: Each search engine should quickly describe what the current status is and what their plans for the future are in 5-10 min.
Attending:
- Sebastian Pölsterl (host)
- Mikkel Kamstrup
- Anders Rune Jensen
- Jos van den Oever
Xesam-Gtk a Widget Set on Top of Xesam-GLib
Type: Hack session
Duration: 3h
Description: The purpose of this session is to design a basic set of widgets leveraging Xesam GLib to allow dead easy integration of Xesam search technologies in Gnome apps. We will start out with approx. 1h of hand waving, drawings, and discussions, and people are welcome to attend only this part. After this we fire up the laptops and get down to business.
Comments: Sebastian Pölsterl: I think it would make sense to write widgets before working on the bindings. That way the bindings and modules based on those bindings could include the widgets, too.
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
- Sebastian Pölsterl
Desktop 3000
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h (depending on the number of participants)
Description: Assuming we have rich, instantly searchable, metadata everywhere what cool ideas will be possible? The participants will air their far fetched crack-pot-dreams and juicy fantasies in 7 minute presentations. Mikkel will kick the session off with his "Do-what-I-think-Desktop" idea.
Attending:
- Mikkel Kamstrup (host)
- Anders Rune Jensen
Xesam-GLib bindings
Type: Hack session
Duration: 1 day
Description: In this session Xesam-GLib bindings for Python and C# are created.
Attending:
- Sebastian Pölsterl (host)
Xesam search modules
Type: Hack session
Duration: 1 day (depends on the amount of applications we want to write plugins for)
Description: The purpose of this session is to write Xesam module for various applications using the newly written Xesam-GLib bindings. I'm thinking of a Deskbar-Applet and Gnome-Do module. Feel free to add additional applications.
Attending:
- Sebastian Pölsterl (host)
Xesam compliance testing
Type: BOF
Duration: 1h (depending on the number of participants)
Description: Xesam has a relatively simple API and search language. Nevertheless, none of the implementation are complete. We need a benchmark to judge how well every client works with a large corpus of documents to index.
Attending:
- Jos van den Oever (host)
- Mikkel Kamstrup
