==Program==

=== Help with the program ===

I'm happy having the role of benevolent dictator for the schedule on Friday 19: I organize the sessions submitted and if someone finds a bug or an improvement just complain and we'll find a solution. However, I really don't want to organize the sessions on Saturday 20, which is purely a maemo.org community day. Can you please find either another dictator or a system to get that sorted out yourselves? I'm asking for a coordinator at [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#Program]]. Thanks!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, could someone draw nice tables for the schedules? I want to do this since.. but there is always something else taking the time. In principle each day needs a table with 3 columns (3 tracks), being some sessions single cells spanning through the whole row (no tracks, just one session at a time, or breaks). Appreciated. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Saturday Coordinator ~ [[User:brontide|Eric Warnke]]''' Feel free to contact me directly or put your ideas here.  I will distill them and be the buffer for Nokia that day.  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Lightning sessions ===

These are really brief sessions of 5 minutes approx i.e. demos. You can propose your own session listing it directly in the schedule '''once you have confirmed your trip to Berlin'''. If we get many proposals we will have a second round of lightning sessions on Saturday. Lightning sessions are cool!

We are open to submissions in the form of decent quality videos, to be shown to the audience and uploaded in maemo.org as part of the video materials of the Summit.

* I've see that there is a session about maemo packaging for extras, so i would talk of a tool recently available nammed py2deb, that enable onboard developper to make debian source package directly on a NIT that can be builded by autobuilder, but i m not sure yet i can come, so maybe someone else is interesting by this tool and maybe present it for me. As i use this tool for mcalendar,home widget, and other things, i think other onboard dev could be interested.-[[User:khertan|khertan]] 10:17, 28 July 2008 (GMT+2)

* I'd like to present Intranet search (extended desktop search) from maemo with libferris (http://www.libferris.com/). This would be a quick overview of what is available now and where I'm heading with it. -- [https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Monkeyiq Monkeyiq] July 19.
:Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* We would like to demonstrate and talk about WorldTV99 (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/worldtv99/) [bunanson and koos Vriezen] 09.16 16 July 2008 (BST).
:Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* I don't know if 5 minutes would be enough, but I would like to talk about Rich UIs and the importance of being different and showing the potential of the platform to "Transform" itself in different products, focused in one main use: like our projects: Canola (media player) Carman (onboard computer + car media) and others like remote controls, etc. The real goal is to show why is really needed that some applications "break" the rules and extend the experience showing the power of openness. (this can be a full talk if of interest)
:20 seconds are enough for a great ad, 3:30 are enough for a great videoclip and 5:00 are enough for a great lightning session.  :)  Find a title and... a name for yourself (are you Marcelo?) Then on Saturday you could organize a full session.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to present Illumination, an alternative GUI library, which is used by my applications. 5 minutes is a start (I'm a fast speaker ;-)), but around 20 minutes would be better. Take 5 minutes on friday or can I get 20 minutes on saturday? I could also speak a little bit of my problems porting a non-Gtk based GUI library (togetehr with some hints towards existing APIs). What about that (5 minutes would be not enough again I fear)?--[[User:framstag|framstag]] 15:29, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

: Go ahead and remove it yourself. Can you move your session to anywhere else in the schedule? --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 13:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
: Qgil maybe another 30 minute lightning session right before we end for the day? ( assuming we have the interest from others to present ) [[User:brontide|brontide]] 13:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:: timsamoff: brontide just did that for me. As for presenting later, of course I can, let's see if we can get another lightning sessions.
::If we get more lightning sessions we can have another round, although better on Saturday. They are good to break the routine.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I ([[user:ntsourak| Nikos Tsourakis]]) want to demonstrate a multilingual multimodal medical translation sytem, which is deployed on the Nokia's N800 device. My application uses state of the art protocols for distributed speech recognition and innovative methods for machine translation. I think 5 minutes is enough for an eye catching presentation. More info can be found at: http://www.issco.unige.ch/staff/tsourakis/medSLT-site/demos.html
: Are you booked for the conference?  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 21:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
* I ([[user:jsmanrique|jsmanrique]]) would like talking about [http://elisator.garage.maemo.org elisator] project and how [http://easy.garage.maemo.org Easy] library has helped and how could be improved. Elisator has been developed for cow's milk analisys and it has been funded by [http://www.fao.org FAO].--[[user:jsmanrique|jsmanrique]]   14:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Saturday 20th ===

List below your proposals for activities. They are thought to be highly participative i.e. discussion about an area of the platform, workshops, etc.  '''[[User:brontide|I]] have promoted many proposals onto the main page.  If you need longer than a half an hour slot then [[User:brontide|let me know]].

* Your proposal here

==== Comments on the current agenda ====
* Proposal for some changes in the morning: 9:30 100Days - 10:00 Community council - 10:30 Future of extras (only, the other 2 sessions about packaging go to the afternoon) - 11:00 We are not users - 11:30 Lightning - 12:00 break until 12:30 and then 3 tracks until the last wrap up session in the big room.
* 1h break for lunch at 14h like the previous day.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
* The 3 tracks could be organized more or less like this: one for hardcore/platform development (e.g. DSP), one for average application developers (eg. the packaging stuff) and one with topics accessible for non-developers (e.g. UI guide) + the [[Talk:Maemo_Summit_2008#Introduction_to_Maemo_hacking.3F]] that still needs to be scheduled. There will be anyway overlaps and difficult decisions, but at least this will favour less nomadism between spaces all the time, and someone lazy could stay in the same room if the previous topic was in target.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
* What about changing Maemo Community 2009 for [[2010 Agenda]]? This will need a lot of input and work from the community to be something really pushed not only by Nokia with its community hat. In mid September 2009 is around the corner anyway, it's not mid term view anymore. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Mini Exhibit ===
''This is getting big - please organize this at [[Maemo Summit 2008/Exhibit]]. As I see it, if we do it then it is better to have it both in OSiM and Summit for double impact. See also the comments at [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#OSiM]]''.

Anyone want to be in charge on having a mini exhibit -- maybe for the OSiM Maemo booth as well as at the Maemo Summit? Someone can contact, coordinate, and round-up remarkable apps, hacks, and interfaces and help set them up so enthusiasts and guests can see and play with them. The objective here is to show what the Internet Tablet is capable of doing.

Here are some ideas: ( cleanup by [[User:brontide|Eric Warnke]] lets concentrate on community items )

I would like to see a handful of units out with a selection of [[Task:Remarkable_community_projects#Born_for_Maemo|"Born for Maemo"]] loaded on each as well as a number of non-conflicting [[Task:Remarkable_community_projects#Outstanding_utilities|Outstanding Utilities]].  Below are the items that I believe would be booth and OSiM friendly.  The nice thing about this list is that we can consume any number of units with this same software and rotate what's being demo'ed easily. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

* Canola2
* Carman
* Maemo Mapper
* Maeno WordPy
* WorldTV99
* Numpty Physics
* OMWeather
* Personal Menu
* Personal Launcher
* Advanced Backlight
* USB Control
* Rotation support
* Quiver
* Large Statusbar clock
* MPlayer / mediaserv / tablet-encode (the entire video playback pipeline) - rm_you volunteer
* Connecting a Hard Drive ([http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/06/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-attach-hdd-aka.html link 1], [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22187 link 2]) - volunteer [[User:bunanson|bunanson]] 19:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
* Running VNC
: Client or server?  I think I would want to load vnc server on many of the units to allow for us to "demo" on a monitor.  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
* A2DP? - Is this ready to be demo'ed at OSiM?
: Shouldn't be a problem with demo'ing either ARM or DSP version, might be worth bringing some 3.5mm speakers to plug into a headset so more than one person can head the output -[[User:lardman|lardman]] 13:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC+1)

Nice to show, if we have enough demo units:

* Running Android
: I know we can, but is there legal issues here if maemo.org does it? [[User:brontide|brontide]] 23:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
::I don't know. Why not asking them? Mike Jennings will come to OSiM, perhaps contacting in advance would a nice gesture. To avoid confusion, it should be clear that this is a move from maemo.org - the Maemo community and nothing Nokia official (this will be clear in the stand, if only by seeing a big maemo.org logo and many tablets with no-Maemo and non-Nokia 3rd party apps inside).--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
::: Sounds good.  I think one unit with Andriod would be great assuming we have enough units, but I would say it's low priority. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
* Running Garnet VM

Ideas that I don't think will work well: ( maybe at the summit )

* [http://www.redferret.net/?p=9533 Haptic Technology]
: I think we should keep it to things we will have access to [[User:brontide|brontide]] 23:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
* [http://symbianwebblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/puppy-robot-controlled-by-nokia-internet-tablet/ Puppy Robot]
:The puppies are getting a bit old... I can ask the developers if you really want them there, though.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
::IMHO, the puppies are very important - robotics is always at the forefront of media attention.  Dont we just get some pics from Mars 2 months ago? I would strongly recommend to have the puppies presented.
::: If we get the coverage for the table ( still WAYYY short on hours ) I will ask, but honestly I'm not expecting Nokia will just hand over the research hardware for a community table.  If we don't get coverage it's a moot point.  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 16:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
::: Robots are cools and bring media attention, sure. This was one reason why I convinced the guys to go to GUADEC last year. I'm not sure we want to have media attention one year later about the same, Bora technology in the times of Fremantle.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
* Running Debian, KDE
:While interesting to hackers, I don't know how much of a splash they would make at OSiM.  If we do a summit table then I think it would be great there. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm more than willing to demonstrate things at both OSiM and the summit if the hardware can be organised (I have an n800 I can bring a long). -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 19:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I have my own laptop and N800 that can be used for the video pipeline demos, but it would be nice to show them on an N810 and not have to use my own hardware for demos if possible. -- [[User:rm_you|Adam Harwell]] 04:39, 26 July 2008 (PST)

==== Signup ====

If this is to be a reality we have to have at least 24 hours of coverage ( guestimate ) 6hours x2 days x2 people.  Signup below and then we will talk about what is realistic in terms of Demo's/Units.

* [[User:brontide|Eric Warnke]] - 2 hours
* [[User:Timsamoff|Tim Samoff]] - 2 hours
* [[User:bunanson|bunanson]] - 4 hours ( Connect HD and WorldTV99 )
* [[User:qole|Alan Bruce]] - whatever you need ;)
* [[User:rm_you|Adam Harwell]] - whatever you need
* [[User:wazd|Andrew Zhilin]] - 4 hours, OMWeather (with Vlad Vasiliev), Personal Software (on behalf of Andrew "Personal" Olmsted)
* '''SIGNUP HERE, WE STILL NEED MANY MORE'''

I can help to man 2 dem stations, Connect HD and WorldTV99, side by side for 3 - 6 hrs; and I am also giving sessions on Friday.  I need "hardware" support.  If I am drafted, who is my contact man? ---[[User:bunanson|bunanson]] I think I would request at least two of each, preferably three, N800 and N810, for a total of 4 (or 6) with ALL the accessories, USB cables, AC adapters etc.
: You are a volunteer.  If you are demo-ing these projects what hardware support do you need?  I will try and make one request to Nokia once we have enough coverage to make the booth possible [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:26, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I've got some ideas to allow people attending at Maemo Summit to communicate better. If you have any other idea, please write/discuss here. --[[User:andy80|Andrea Grandi]] 10:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

* Prepare a sort of "badge". A simple card with these informations:
** Name (nickname)
** What we do in our life (Developer/Student/Blogger/ecc...)
** Spoken languages: we could print a flag for each language we speak

* Prepare a custom Google map with all the hot points in Berlin: c-base, OSiM, all hotels we booked ecc...

* Create POI's for these place to use on Map software in our tablets

== Introduction to Maemo hacking? ==

Keywan says in maemo-developers: "are there plans for a workshop or introduction for newcomers in the development for Maemo? What do you think about this idea? Is there anybody who would like to do this as a "speaker"? And are there other potential participants like me?
:Good idea, the question being: when? What is the right duration for this workshop and where could it fit in the agenda. One idea would be to have it on 2-3h on Saturday while the rest of running sessions are really hardcore developer or community wise.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 07:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Lightning *idea* sessions ==

[http://maemo.org/profile/view/ifrade/ Iván] had a great idea today at lunch. What about a round of lightning sessions about '''ideas'''. You don't need to be a developer. In fact, it would be good that you are not a developer. But you have a great idea, and you present it brilliantly through text, a sketch, a presentation... In the audience you have a wide collection of power users and developers. Perhaps you find more feedback, improvements, the perfect match? The presentations are available online, next to a feedback channel. The discussion continues there. Perhaps something real will come out of that.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC) (on behalf of Iván)
:When, though? The agenda onf Friday is already intense but... I think a refreshing session like this can be placed at 18h onwards. Right before the end, when you can catch the proposer of the idea and continue the discussion.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:I am agree that at 18:00 on Friday could be good timetable for this.--[[User:jsmanrique|jsmanrique]]
:[http://blog.ifrade.es/2008/07/30/lightning-ideas-maemo-submit/ Nice blog post from Iván]. It got rapidly to the top news in maemo.org. I'll take that as a community YES.  :)

-=== Mini Exhibit ===
+Here are some ideas: ( cleanup by [[User:brontide|Eric Warnke]] lets concentrate on community items )
-''Moved to [[Maemo Summit 2008/Exhibit]]. See also the comments at [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#OSiM]]''.
+I would like to see a handful of units out with a selection of [[Task:Remarkable_community_projects#Born_for_Maemo|"Born for Maemo"]] loaded on each as well as a number of non-conflicting [[Task:Remarkable_community_projects#Outstanding_utilities|Outstanding Utilities]].  Below are the items that I believe would be booth and OSiM friendly.  The nice thing about this list is that we can consume any number of units with this same software and rotate what's being demo'ed easily. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
+* Canola2
+* Carman
+* Maemo Mapper
+* Maeno WordPy
+* WorldTV99
+* Numpty Physics
+* OMWeather
+* Personal Menu
+* Personal Launcher
+* Advanced Backlight
+* USB Control
+* Rotation support
+* Quiver
+* Large Statusbar clock
+* MPlayer / mediaserv / tablet-encode (the entire video playback pipeline) - rm_you volunteer
+* Connecting a Hard Drive ([http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/06/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-attach-hdd-aka.html link 1], [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22187 link 2]) - volunteer [[User:bunanson|bunanson]] 19:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
+* Running VNC
+: Client or server?  I think I would want to load vnc server on many of the units to allow for us to "demo" on a monitor.  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
+* A2DP? - Is this ready to be demo'ed at OSiM?
+: Shouldn't be a problem with demo'ing either ARM or DSP version, might be worth bringing some 3.5mm speakers to plug into a headset so more than one person can head the output -[[User:lardman|lardman]] 13:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC+1)
+Nice to show, if we have enough demo units:
+* Running Android
+: I know we can, but is there legal issues here if maemo.org does it? [[User:brontide|brontide]] 23:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
+::I don't know. Why not asking them? Mike Jennings will come to OSiM, perhaps contacting in advance would a nice gesture. To avoid confusion, it should be clear that this is a move from maemo.org - the Maemo community and nothing Nokia official (this will be clear in the stand, if only by seeing a big maemo.org logo and many tablets with no-Maemo and non-Nokia 3rd party apps inside).--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
+::: Sounds good.  I think one unit with Andriod would be great assuming we have enough units, but I would say it's low priority. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
+* Running Garnet VM
+Ideas that I don't think will work well: ( maybe at the summit )
+* [http://www.redferret.net/?p=9533 Haptic Technology]
+: I think we should keep it to things we will have access to [[User:brontide|brontide]] 23:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
+* [http://symbianwebblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/puppy-robot-controlled-by-nokia-internet-tablet/ Puppy Robot]
+:The puppies are getting a bit old... I can ask the developers if you really want them there, though.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
+::IMHO, the puppies are very important - robotics is always at the forefront of media attention.  Dont we just get some pics from Mars 2 months ago? I would strongly recommend to have the puppies presented.
+::: If we get the coverage for the table ( still WAYYY short on hours ) I will ask, but honestly I'm not expecting Nokia will just hand over the research hardware for a community table.  If we don't get coverage it's a moot point.  [[User:brontide|brontide]] 16:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
+::: Robots are cools and bring media attention, sure. This was one reason why I convinced the guys to go to GUADEC last year. I'm not sure we want to have media attention one year later about the same, Bora technology in the times of Fremantle.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
+* Running Debian, KDE
+:While interesting to hackers, I don't know how much of a splash they would make at OSiM.  If we do a summit table then I think it would be great there. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
+I'm more than willing to demonstrate things at both OSiM and the summit if the hardware can be organised (I have an n800 I can bring a long). -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 19:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
+I have my own laptop and N800 that can be used for the video pipeline demos, but it would be nice to show them on an N810 and not have to use my own hardware for demos if possible. -- [[User:rm_you|Adam Harwell]] 04:39, 26 July 2008 (PST)
+==== Signup ====
+If this is to be a reality we have to have at least 24 hours of coverage ( guestimate ) 6hours x2 days x2 people.  Signup below and then we will talk about what is realistic in terms of Demo's/Units.
+* [[User:brontide|Eric Warnke]] - 2 hours
+* [[User:Timsamoff|Tim Samoff]] - 2 hours
+* [[User:bunanson|bunanson]] - 4 hours ( Connect HD and WorldTV99 )
+* [[User:qole|Alan Bruce]] - whatever you need ;)
+* [[User:rm_you|Adam Harwell]] - whatever you need
+* [[User:wazd|Andrew Zhilin]] - 4 hours, OMWeather (with Vlad Vasiliev), Personal Software (on behalf of Andrew "Personal" Olmsted)
+* '''SIGNUP HERE, WE STILL NEED MANY MORE'''
+I can help to man 2 dem stations, Connect HD and WorldTV99, side by side for 3 - 6 hrs; and I am also giving sessions on Friday.  I need "hardware" support.  If I am drafted, who is my contact man? ---[[User:bunanson|bunanson]] I think I would request at least two of each, preferably three, N800 and N810, for a total of 4 (or 6) with ALL the accessories, USB cables, AC adapters etc.
+: You are a volunteer.  If you are demo-ing these projects what hardware support do you need?  I will try and make one request to Nokia once we have enough coverage to make the booth possible [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:26, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
