Talk Submissions
Mobile web apps on tablets : the web2py framework revisited
- Author name and contact details: fpp on talk.maemo.org
- Intended audience: users
- Talk type: presentation
- Abstract/description
- Last year in Berlin I gave a longish advocacy talk about the merits of web apps on the tablets, as a way for "normal humans" to fill their own needs. I also advocated Python and a framework called web2py for doing this, and ended with a peek at one of my real-life apps. I did not go into any technical detail however.
- If the schedule allows it, I thought I might do a follow-up this year, focusing on a more in-depth presentation of web2py : its general philosophy, what services are offered, a tour of its friendly web administration and development interface, etc. No actual coding, except for a few typical idioms and a demo app.
- Additional Information (optional)
- by its very nature this can be presented and demoed from a PC, so nothing special
- I realize this is very far from this year's core themes, but just in case :-)
- Author bio
- fpp's main claims to fame are : being amongst the oldest InternetTabletTalk forum users (11-03-2005) ; certainly the most obnoxious Frenchman there ; and owning every model of tablet available since 2005.
PyQt application development on Maemo
- Author name and contact details: attila77 at talk.maemo.org
- Intended audience: application developers
- Talk type: presentation
- Abstract/description
- A complete walkthrough of creating applications for the Maemo platform with Python and Qt. The presentation would contain two segments, the first being the 'why' - introduction to underlying technologies, the rationale of using Python and Qt as a development platform on Maemo and a short demo of a few projects built with these tools.
- The second segment of the presentation focuses on the 'how' in a nutshell: How to setup up a proper PyQt development environment, how to develop most efficiently, how to debug, how to profile and optimize, platform caveats and gotchas, packaging considerations.
- Additional Information (optional)
- Needs a PC with projector
- Author bio
- Attila Csipa is an Open Source programmer and advocate from Serbia. His Open Source involvements include being a core contributor to web2py, a python based web framework, and contributions to other high profile projects like Mapserver, OpenLayers and NSLU2-linux.
Go-to market opportunities for mobile application developers
- Author name and contact details - Boaz Zilberman, co-founder and Chief Architect of fring.
- Intended audience (users/application developers/platform developers) - application developers
- Talk type (presentation/lightning talk)presentation
- Abstract/description
- I will be happy to present the go-to-market activities fring is doing to publish our application on the many platforms we work on - Linux, WinMobile, Symbian, Android, J2ME and iPhone. My intention is to stimulate an open discussion so we, as a community, can provide better ways to promote the platform benefits to ordinary users rather than the early adopters.
