Maemo Summit 2009/Organization
Contents |
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

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?

Post Summit Recordings
Recordings will need to be posted online after the event. For this there should be at least one individual recording as many talks, happenings, back stage stuff, as possible. This will need to be edited afterward and posted to an online video delivery site such as vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com). I have full editing facilities available with HD recording equipment so hopefully this years coverage will be much better than last years.
