== Travel ==
+
[[Mer]] is also known as the Maemo 5 community edition for the Nokia N810/N800/770 Internet Tablets. More information about the project can be found on the [[Mer]] homepage.
-
See [[Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend/Travel|when people are arriving in and leaving Copenhagen]].
+
-
== Schedule ==
+
The high level goal of this focus area is to bring Mer closer to 1.0, which is meant to be the first day-to-day usable release on Nokia Internet Tablets. Maemo5 will be in beta stage at this point and and we should be able to provide Fremantle APIs and a Maemo4 replacement to Nokia N8x0(W) users when Maemo5 is out. The hope is to be able to use the synergy of bringing so many Maemo and Mer related personalities together, to be able to move ahead on things that would take longer if having to be done online.  
-
Taking shape as we speak. The idea is to have one stream of activities in the background with few or no overlaps. Developers are supposed to be in the Hall most of the time, attending to sessions where they are involved or find particularly interesting.
+
-
Starting point for the schedule:
+
Sub-goals, which serve as guidelines for activities:
-
* Hall: Doors open Saturday from 9:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 9:00 to 18:00.

+
-
** [[Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend/Mozilla topics|One Mozilla track]] in the mornings.

=== Hotel Cabinn Scandinavia ===
+
== Schedule ==
 +
To be defined according to the needs. If you want to have a session requiring the auditorium or one of the 3 rooms available please post your proposal in the discussion page.
-
We have booked 40 rooms (single or shared) at the [http://www.cabinn.com/english/kbh/scandinavia/sca.html Hotel Cabinn Scandinavia]. The rate is 75 EUR per night (including breakfast) which is very very decent for Copenhagen. The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the metro station going to the venue and has free Internet connection. The metro runs all night, so there's no need to take a taxi after late night coding.
+
== Who is coming ==
 +
We are working on an automated list of participants. In the meantime, here is a manual export of [http://events.mozilla-europe.org/event/?id=6 registered] participants.
-
The sponsored participants are hosted in this hotel. Other participants are encouraged to book here your rooms as well. There is an [[Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend/Accommodation|Accommodation wiki page]] where you can see how the rooms are organized.
