- | The focus of the presentation seems to be mostly around other platforms than maemo, although some of the topics have some relevance for the attendees, I'm not sure if the presentation as a all have enough relevance for the audience. [[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 10:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

- | Remember that this is a '''Maemo Summit''' and not a '''Mobile Summit'''. I like the potential of the talk although it would have to be very heavily orientated around Maemo for this to be accepted. Its fine to compare Maemo with other competitors but it has to be a Maemo talk first and foremost and a 'state of the mobile ecosphere' second. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | "My goal in this presentation is to steer a discussion about the best way of the Maemo community to make applications as easily available as possible.
| + | |
- | I don’t have solutions but I can bring in our experiences in working on multiple platforms to demonstrate what works better.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Namely -
| + | |
- | * iPhone environment is by far the best environment for app developers. The system encourage users to try and use external apps and it is doing it with an intuitive 'store-front' and easy setup.
| + | |
- | * Nokia (OVI) and WM environment provides decent solutions assuming the end user is passionate in looking for an app. Their draw-back are - unfriendly store-front; too many steps in the download process and a lengthy setup process.
| + | |
- | * The Linux solution, repositories - is only for the geeks. It is too technical, hidden, and presented to those who understand the insides of the device.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | My goal in the presentation is to demo what we are doing in each channel, our unique approach to ease the process in some environment (Symbian and WM), the different 'app-stores'. I hope that this will encourage the technical guys to set and build a better process in Maemo such that the non-geeks users can benefit from the applications provided."

- | === Canola application and framework for rich GUI ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | I would prefer a more in-deep presentation around the framework behind canola than the app itself, since the intended audience will be application developers and some of the canola components have a big lack of documentation. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 10:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Yes, that's it. Since people from Maemo already know Canola, what I really hope is to bring more developers to Canola (Terra) framework, so we can have more Canola plugins or even other applications in the same line, built from scratch using Terra framework. --[[User:barbieri|k-s]] 11:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | On the assumption that this is indeed a more developer orientated presentation about the Terra framework and not just Canola (obviously using Canola for an example of what can be done) I personally would be happy to see this at the Summit. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Since the focus of talk will be the canola framework instead of the app itself, I would like to see it at the summit. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Funny enough, I would like to see a user-oriented talk for Canola. I don't mind some applications talking about frameworks and APIs, but we have 1/3rd of the conference about users, and we're expecting a user audience. Canola is one of those apps I don't know as well ass I'd like to. --[[User:dneary|Dave Neary]] 15:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | :Maybe 2 sessions then, one user and one developer if the speaker (or speakers) are willing? -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 15:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | :: No - one or the other I think. Do you really think that the Canola application framework will be interesting to more people than "discover cool features of Canola 2" will be? I'm not so sure. --[[User:dneary|Dave Neary]] 15:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | ::: Going by the amount of GSOC projects using Canola and the potential of the framework for other applications it could warrant 2 presentations but for now lets keep it at 1. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 15:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | :::In my opinion the framework behind canola is very interesting, and for the reasons that I pointed above, it would be interesting for a good group of dev's, I guess. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 15:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | :I know it was accepted already, but my opinion is that dev is better. Discovering feature from user POV is simpler, we have couple of videos on internet and giving it a try for a day should be enough. But from developer POV it's very large and complex but powerful code. We have infrastructure to make thread loading, DB loading on demand and a powerful plugin system. Very few developers out there know about, we're trying to get the first external developer using GSoC and they're liking it and producing good code, but attracting more developer is important. Actually I'd like to see other applications using the infrastructure, not just Canola/Carman, but Blue Maemo and even others. --[[User:barbieri|k-s]] 18:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Maemo Co-Creation Working Session ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | I like the idea of this a lot but the line "lead users + Maemo product managers, designers and marketeers" does worry me a little. I know this may require the signing of NDA's e.t.c. for the session but it would be more transparent if you could outline the requirements for attendance. We are catering for a lot of Maemo enthusiasts so a session looking at the idea's behind the next tablet is going to be way over-subscribed. I think you need to set out up front the people you are allowing to this session and the people who cannot attend to try to minimize the feeling of 'eliteness'. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | My interpretation is that the talk is open for everybody ("Maemo co-creation 2009 will now open up for the Maemo community"), if I understood well this sessions will present the result of the *closed* co-creation sessions in order to craft more ideas from the community. So is a yes from me. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | 100% in favouur of giving these sessions the space requested. Should be interesting insight and an opportunity for the community to discover the Nokia design process. --[[User:dneary|Dave Neary]] 15:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Maemomm: Maemo with C++ and a Gtkmm flavour ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Big yes from me but where to put the talk? I think more with platform developers than application ones. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Agree, I also think that plataform developers will be more suitable for this presentation. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | Yes. Moving to platform developer track. --[[User:dneary|Dave Neary]] 15:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Hildon toolkit for Fremantle ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Big yes from me. This will be a Fremantle heavy summit and these are the kind of talks everyone is there to see. I'm tempted to say that this is an Application Developers talk but I think this is best suited as a Platform Developer one. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Yes from me, and Platform Developers track IMO. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Yes for accepting it, but it's an application developer presentation. It's not about changing Hildon, it's about using it. --[[User:dneary|Dave Neary]] 15:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Modest, email client for Fremantle ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Another big yes for me. Lets hope that the talk also focuses on a lot of the user complaints that Modest has accumulated recently. I'd like to not only see what we have in store for Fremantle but what improvements there are going to be for the N8x0 users. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Yes from me. If it will be presented in the users track, the authors should have a bit more attention to the presentation topics, in order to avoid technical topics, that aren't suitable for that audience. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Adapting GNOME applications to Maemo Fremantle ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Yes. Please make this relevant for the non-Fremantle crowd though. Not wanting to hijack your presentation but there are a lot people out there with little to no knowledge of porting applications to the restrained environment that the tablet has to offer but a lot of people who will still be developing/porting for the 770/N8x0 for a long time to come. --~ [[User:baloo|baloo]]

- | | + | |
- | Yes. I think hildonizing a app is very similar in Diablo and Fremantle, of course the set of available widgets isn't the same, but the core tips will be aborted for sure. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Hi. Porting an app to Fremantle is in my opinion much different than porting it to Diablo since not only the widgets changed but also the philosophy of how an application should use them. On Fremantle, redesigning the interface becomes almost mandatory in order to provide the user a truly finger-friendly interface. See the example of EOG for Maemo VS EOG for GNOME for example. So, the focus of my talk would be in the adaptation of desktop applications to become finger-friendly according to the Fremantle style. --[[User:jrocha|jrocha]] 10:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- | === Mer: A year after ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | For me this is more a lightning talk. I'd like to see a more in-dept proposal if this is to be a longer session. -- [[User:baloo|baloo]] 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | I think it is suitable for a presentation, the project deserves a presentation, where a lot of topics can be raised, namely the current state of Mer, future planes, difficulties faced during the development, etc. --[[User:vdvsx| Valério Valério]] 09:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Please add comments you have about presentations under consideration here.
I would like to see this grouped with the other Fremantle Star projects into a keynote presentation. If we can get the majority of the other Star project authors together for this it would be a great talk. Feel free to submit a more liqbase focused talk if you have idea's for a longer session. -- baloo 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Not sure this would stand up as a full session, suited more to a lightning talk? -- baloo 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Unless the author comes up with a bigger plan for this presentation, I also vote to convert the presentation in a LT. -- Valério Valério 09:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I think an evangelisation presentation might be good. Lety's see what else comes along in that style before saying yes. --Dave Neary 15:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Yes from me although this is a pretty hard-core platform developer talk. ESbox and PluThon are important parts of tablet development and as a lightning session you could 'scratch the itch' of the attendee. Maybe a little more information about how you intend to do this as a full session? -- baloo 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Maybe. Seems like an application developer presentation to me, rather than platform developer. Let's see what other proposals come in. --Dave Neary 15:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
When presentations have been accepted and moved from the "Submissions" page to the schedule, the discussion about them is removed, but remains visible in the history.
Presentation declined. We felt that the content wasn't compelling enough for the presentation, and there will be considerable duplication with presentations during the Nokia day, which will concentrate on cracking the mass market, and during the Fremantle Stars presentations we expect to have. Please add any comments you might have below. Dave Neary 16:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Seems a little too abstract for a Maemo Summit as I think these issues effect a much wider audience. A good talk but again, in the interests of keeping this a very Maemo Summit focused event, I'm saying no unless a more compelling argument is there. -- baloo 22:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
