A call to all Maemo, Linux and open source lovers:

Maemo-Barcelona Long Weekend
December 4-6 @ http://citilab.eu
Follow on Twitter: #maebar

Everything started willing to organize a UX meets Code hackfest. Then some local supporters asked about the possibility of having more activities around. Now the schedule is all yours / toda vuestra / tota vostra. See below.

Join the discussion: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=364433

Contents

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.

There is one main topic for every day:

  • Friday is for concepting. Projects selected: liqbase Calendar, FIXME, FIXME.
  • Saturday is for usability. Projects selected: FIXME, FIXME, FIXME.
  • Sunday is for graphics. Projects selected: GPodder, FIXME, FIXME.

FIXME = projects need to be proposed in this thread.

Participants

UX specialists willing to help and learn about your specific problems:

  • Arabella David, Design & User Experience Program Manager @ Forum Nokia
  • Sanna Häivalainen, UX Specialist @ Forum Nokia
  • Members of Maemo Devices UX team to be defined
  • UX specialists from Digia to be confirmed. See their Maemo Summit slides UI Design of Maemo 5 apps.

Community developers and designers:

  • We are working on the list of confirmed participants right now.

Interested?

If you want to be invited please provide in this thread:

  • Your maemo.org profile making sure that there one can find info about or links to your current projects and your interests in Code or UX.
  • If you are more into Code, a link to the app hosted in maemo.org, either under Fremantle packages or OS2008 Downloads.
  • If you are more into UX, a link to wherever your work can be seen.

Forward this to your colleagues working on great stuff!

For budgeting and also practical purposes we will keep the number of participants around 50 people even if we get more requests. The criteria will be defined more or less by fast response, travel costs, community involvement and of course Maemo excellence in Code or UX.

But you want more

If you want more, bring more. http://citilab.eu is a great space with rooms of all sizes and an auditorium for 400 people. We are open to suggestions! We have got informal requests about developer training, a N900 presentation, something about localization, an evening together...

We are happy to discuss potential activities with groups like Hispalinux, GNOME Hispano, KDE Hispano, Softcatalà, LUGs, university organizations... Also with you alone if you have a great idea in mind.

Please explain your proposal below linking it to maemo.org profile. Feel free writing in Spanish or Catalan if your activities proposed are targeting local participants.

Maemo localization?

Barcelona is a great place to discuss about localization, with a multilingual setting and an excellent track of free software L10n projects pushed by local communities.

If there is enough interest we could organize a workshop about the 2010 Objective Community localization taking Catalan as a test case.

This is a call to all the local communities interested in free software with a potential interest in Maemo as well. Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, Hispalinux, Debian, LUGs, CreativeCommons... you name it. Esperamos vuestras propuestas / Esperem les vostres propostes.
