Maemo Summit 2009/Organization
Contents |
Conference checklist
Organisation of the conference splits nicely into a number of distinct subsets. Quim Gil did a really great job of tracking the organisation of the Maemo Summit 2008, which made coming up with this list much easier:
- /Location - including required facilities, catering
- /Infrastructure - streaming, wifi, electricity - our requirements
- /Content - Conference presentations, lightning talks
- /Registration and /Sponsored travel - who is coming, who will have their travel covered, required infrastructure for registration, what is the procedure for payment of expenses
- /Merchandising and printing - All the Maemo branded stuff we will need for the conference - suppliers, cost proposals, deadlines
- /Marketing
- /Social events
- /Accommodation - collect accommodation options & prices
- /Travel - How to get there? Maps, travel advice & tips

I think that 2009 will be Fremantle year, so I expect a summit focused on:
- New technologies showcase (i.e., what can be done with clutter?)
- New hardware features
And I would add one or two roundtables to talk and discuss:
- What's next?
- What about past hardware? What about third party development?
- Would you like a Maemo App Store?
Live blogging
I think there should/could be:
- Two people for posting photos and briefing for each talk in a blog (will be there a summit webpage?)
- On each talk there should be at least one person posting on twitter/identi.ca/jaiku about what's happenning (creating a microblogging chat), also linked to summit webpage
- IRC channel on Freenode.
Live streaming
Several solutions:
- Qik for live streaming from mobile phone (Nokia has already use it on an event)
- Fluendo technologies?
