| aGLESory || Adapt or implement a flexible OpenGL wrapper for Maemo. || OpenGL, libraries and gcc, packaging, documentation, maemo SDK || Flandry || [[User:thp|thp]] || This really needs no introduction...we all know how huge it would be to have a painless wrapper for at least basic OpenGL functionality. This project would be about getting someone to blaze the path and mark it clearly.

| mAuth (pronounced moth) || The N900 is a very powerful device, however we can't shake away the fact that many of us still use desktops on a daily basis. Using username/password authentication is highly insecure, because it forces the repeated typing of the same credentials in the same room, roughly at the same time every day. One option for this are smart cards. However they are expensive and the concepts behind them are extremely complicated for anyone who doesn't work in the industry, and as such implementing them at home would be a nightmare. One solution around this would be to have the N900 (or any other NIT for that matter) emulate being a smart card, and use bluetooth to connect to the computer. The authentication and encryption certificates are stored on the N900 and provided to the computer when in bluetooth range, however as soon as the N900 is taken away, the session is locked as the computer believes the "smart card" has been removed. || - Maemo SDK to create the smart card emulator daemon - Bluetooth networking or bluetooth bi-directional communication - PC/SC driver for Windows - Excellent documentation - great packaging || [[User:crashanddie|crashanddie]] 07:46, 20 February 2010 (UTC) || ||

| Robotics Simulator || Bring a full-blown robotics simulator to Maemo/MeeGo. For the start, the 2.5D simulator Player/Stage (http://playerstage.sf.net) would be ported and a simple GUI be written. Later integration with Fawkes (http://www.fawkesrobotics.org) can provide some nice demos and scripting environment to start into robotics. If there is interest in this project some studies are needed to check whether the device is generally computationally powerful enough for simple scenarios. Although not a classic Maemo application, this can be seen as an educational effort to get students interested and start playing with (virtual) robots. || Maemo SDK, packaging, Player/Stage, Fawkes, background in robotics software strongly recommended || timn ||  || Given a mentor I would like to pursue this project over the summer. It can be an eye catcher for the N900, if you can have a simulated robot on the device and instruct it to accomplish tasks.
