-	* Weekly releases of updated SDK packages. SSU for SDK. So developers can start to develop for the new platform right away and not have to wait until the new SDK/OS version is released. This 'beta' SDK releases will help developers with application porting and compatibility checks. So they can release their software the day a new OS is released. --[[User:xfade|xfade]] 12:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)	+
-	:''Ok to the idea but as for today we cannot commit publicly to a specific date, nor guarantee that this will be done within 100 days. It won't be 2010 either, most probably at some point during the second half of this year. What should we do? Add it with a disclaimer? Leave it out? --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)	+

-	== Bug tracking future plan ==	+
-		+
-	* It's unclear where to report problems about packages found in the application catalog.  A single bug tracker is needed, or at least a catalog that would redirect the user to the appropriate tracker from a common start page.  Or we could set up a "maemo" distribution on launchpad.net, which would let us integrate with the bug trackers of individual packages.	+
-	:''Nokia is open to discuss any possibility of integration of maemo.org with third parties i.e. ITt and also using any external service i.e. launchpad.net. We can commit to overall plans for the 100 Days exercise but not on execution. Having a better and common understabnding of how this steps would fall in the 2010 Agenda would definitely help to see what are the right first steps.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 07:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)''	+
-		+
-	== Proposal to maintain legacy ==	+
-	* Put together a plan of action for moving forward with a community-maintained Hacker Edition (based on what Quim said [http://www.archive.org/details/QuimGil-MaemoLinuxtag2008Update here])	+
-	:''Having a specific proposal agreed by the community would definitely help.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 07:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)''	+
-		+
-	== Community Council ==	+
-	[[User:qgil|qgil]] is responsible for managing the maemo community on behalf of Nokia. But who is the community? Getting consensus of hundreds of disparate people through mailing lists and wiki-edits means the person who shouts loudest wins.	+
-		+
-	Therefore - inspired by Debian's Project Leader concept - during the next [[100Days]], a process for electing a triumverate (i.e. 3 person) "Community Council" should be created and elections held.	+
-	:''Mmm... It is probably benefitial for the maemo community and for the dialog with Nokia to have some structure. We are doing effective steps towards this: some people get admin rights, some people might become QA evaluators in the extras repositories, some people receive are more visible and push for certain things in a structured way... However, also with my community shirt I think that 10 days of brainstorm is not enough to define a proposal, and probably 100 days are not enough to implement it either. So, what about 100 Days for the community to discuss and agree on the way to be formally structured?--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)	+
-	::''Possibly true - however I'd want to avoid us getting into too long talking about a process which can be enhanced/refined at a later date, and get some of the structure in-place sooner. Perfectly happy to go with the consensus on this (since it's necessary for it to work ;-)) --[[User:jaffa|jaffa]] 10:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)''	+
-	:::''Alright, you have the (obvious) pre-agreement on my side. Please discuss and once there is an agreed idea create page accordingly and move this content there. Thanks! --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)	+

qgil coordinates this task. Not included in the Sprint 1 (June) but you can start helping out now.

Fast server

Browsing and downloading from maemo.org should be simply fast. No excuses.

Nemein will work on this task. More details to come.

Mapping openness

• Identifying closed-source components and the reasons why, addressing the community's concerns over openness.

qgil coordinates this task. Not included in the Sprint 1 (June) but you can start helping out now.

Internet Tablet Talk Collaboration

maemo.org and ITt services should integrate much better i.e. maemo.org Downloads syndicated in ITt and ITt users getting maemo.org karma.

Nemein will handle this task. Henri is the contact. More to come soon.

Consolidation of extras

The Extras repository needs to become the single reference for developers willing to reach end users at large.

Niels to coordinate this. More details to come.

Improving maemo.org

maemo.org needs improvements in usability, content, format and style.

Dave to coordinate this task. More details to come up later.

Nemein will help on this, but there needs to be a clear plan first to see who pushes what.

Content cleanup

Dress up the most important content, dump what is not relevant, handle the rest via the wiki.

Roadmap for the Maemo platform

A Maemo roadmap for developers, disclosing information about open source components and developer libraries.

qgil coordinates this task. Planned for the Sprint 5 (September) but you can start helping out now.

Community Council

A process for electing a small "Community Council" should be created and elections held.

This task needs a coordinator.

Jaffa, lardman, or myself are probably the ones to push this. Jaffa's currently on vacation, so I'll get together with lardman tomorrow to start getting the ball rolling on this. —GeneralAntilles 01:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
