[[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.

== Travel ==
+
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. Maemo 5 will be in beta stage at this point and and we should be able to provide Fremantle APIs and a Maemo 4 replacement to Nokia N8x0(W) users when Maemo 5 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.

 +
Sub-goals, which serve as guidelines for activities:
 +
 
 +
* Control panels to be able to control behavior of your tablet.
 +
* Developer tools - Builders, cross compilation environments and IDEs.
 +
* Artwork and UI design - Icons, themes, backgrounds, animations, shining up interfaces through code, etc.
 +
* Hardware interfacing and event-reaction daemons (implementing behavior similar to or better than Maemo 4).
 +
* Integration with maemo.org both on a organizational (relation to council, community) and technical level (package and image builders, repositories).
 +
* Alignment with Maemo 5 APIs and integration of Nokia-closed software in restricted images.
 +
* Chasing down showstopper bugs which would hinder user adoption of Mer 1.0.
 +
* Discussions on Mer after 1.0 and presentations on Mer to potential users and developers.
 +
* Getting the Mer project developers and contributors together for the first time.
 +

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.
