*Author: Joaquim Rocha, jrocha at igalia dot com
*Intended audience: Application Developers
*Talk type: presentation
*Abstract/description

*Ivan Frade <ifrade@gnome.org>, Iridian Kiiskinen <ext dash iridian dot kiiskinen at nokia dot com>
*Intended audience: application developers/platform developers
*Presentation
*Abstract/description
: Tracker is a freedesktop project (with GNOME roots) included in the maemo platform for the first time in maemo5. In fremantle it is a simple index engine with support for basic metadata. For harmattan Tracker takes a great leap forward becoming a central storage for *user information*. The important data for the user (contacts, messages, multimedia, ...) will not only be stored in an application independent way, but also in a "linkable" format. This enables a new user experience: it makes it possible to integrate contacts everywhere, mix IM/email/twitter history of a contact, and so on.

In this presentation, Application developers can see how data is linked and obtained from Tracker to enrich their applications; platform contributors can learn how to integrate new information sources.

*Author bio

=== The Maemo 5 Address Book ===
*Author: Travis Reiter travis dot reitter AT collabora dot co dot uk, Mathias Hasselmann mathias AT openismus dot com
*Intended audience: users and application developers
*Talk type: presentation
*Abstract/description

In Maemo 5, contacts are handled by several components that make up the
Address Book. In its first part, this talk will provide an overview of
the components in the new system, as well changes in the interface and
functionality of the Contacts application. A lot has changed since the
last major release, so this talk has a lot of interesting bits to cover!

The second part of this talk will focus on developers who want to
incorporate contacts in their applications. Address Book 5 includes a
powerful high-level library for accessing contacts on the system. If
your application needs to present all contacts on the system, find
specific ones, watch changes to the contacts, pick out avatars, start
conversations, or much more, it's all here. And this library,
libosso-abook, has become the ideal way to access contacts, so we'll
provide some tips on porting older Maemo applications based directly on
Evolution Data Server to libosso-abook.

*Author bio

=== The future of GTK+/Hildon in Maemo Harmattan  ===
* Alberto Garcia (_berto_) and Claudio Saavedra (csaavedra)
* Intended audience: developers
* Talk type: BoF
* Abstract/description:
: Nokia has recently announced that GTK+/Hildon, the official Maemo toolkit since the beginning of the project, will be replaced by Qt in the future Harmattan release.
: However, Nokia has also shown interest in the availability of a community-maintained version of GTK+/Hildon for this next Maemo release, so existing applications can be ported to the new devices and developers more familiar with this toolkit can write new applications for Harmattan.
: In this BoF we'll discuss the current situation of GTK+/Hildon in Fremantle, its future in the hands of the community and the challenges to overcome in order to create a decent release for Maemo Harmattan.
* Author bio

=== High-resolution image processing on Maemo devices ===
*Author: Alexander Bokovoy - alexander dot bokovoy AT nokia dot com
*Intended audience: application developers/platform developers
*Talk type: presentation
*Abstract/description

N900 is the first Maemo device with high resolution camera. While making photos with camera is an obvious use for it, resulted images are stored on the device and can be used by applications for other purposes as well. Mobile devices like N900 are quite constrained for image processing needs and special work is needed to minimize consumption of memory and processing resources.

The talk will cover camera application development in Maemo 5 and plans for common set of image editing functionality for high-resolution pictures in Maemo 6. We hope to create open and extensible platform-wide solution which can help all developers to better utilize constrained resources on mobile devices.
