+ | === Mobile web apps on tablets : the web2py framework revisited === | ||
+ | *Author: fpp on talk.maemo.org | ||
+ | *Intended audience: users | ||
+ | *Abstract/description | ||
+ | : Last year in Berlin I gave a longish advocacy talk about the merits of web apps on the tablets, as a way for "normal humans" to fill their own needs. I also advocated Python and a framework called web2py for doing this, and ended with a peek at one of my real-life apps. I did not go into any technical detail however. | ||
+ | : If the schedule allows it, I thought I might do a follow-up this year, focusing on a more in-depth presentation of web2py : its general philosophy, what services are offered, a tour of its friendly web administration and development interface, etc. No actual coding, except for a few typical idioms and a demo app. | ||
+ | *Author bio | ||
+ | : fpp's main claims to fame are : being amongst the oldest InternetTabletTalk forum users (11-03-2005) ; certainly the most obnoxious Frenchman there ; and owning every model of tablet available since 2005. | ||

+ | === Development Nirvana: How Maemo Application Development Should Be === | ||
+ | *[[User:Jaffa|Andrew Flegg]] [mailto:andrew@bleb.org <andrew@bleb.org>] | ||
+ | *''Intended audience:'' application developers | ||
+ | *''Abstract/description:'' | ||
+ | : In the words of Steve Ballmer, the key to a platform is "developers! developers! developers!" However, Maemo SDKs have a painful install process, supported only on x86 Linux with primitive tooling. | ||
+ | : This talk will demonstrate how much better Maemo development can be; from cross-platform, easy-to-use Maemo SDKs to a brief runthrough of what a real, professional development environment is like. The author will also describe his perfect Maemo development environment: and whether it's something we're ever likely to see. | ||
+ | *''Author bio:'' | ||
+ | : Andrew Flegg has been a professional software developer for over 15 years and is currently lead architect and developer for his employer's next generation application. He has been a Maemo user since the 770 launch and has been elected to the Maemo Community Council twice. | ||

+ | * Abstract/description | ||
+ | |||
+ | : I'll do a short presentation of the plugin I have developed as a Summer of Code project. I will talk about the main features (picture uploading, albums management, integration with Photocast, the use of GPS .. ), some small problems that I've encountered and finally few words about the GSoC experience. Also I would like to include a live demonstration of the plugin. | ||

This represented my first serious contact with the open source software, but now I'm planning to continue to help the community and develop new applications. | ||

+ | === Mer from a user's perspective === | ||
+ | *Author: Tomasz Dominikowski (dominikowski at gmail dot com) | ||
+ | *Intended audience: everyone, but aimed at developers in general | ||
+ | *Talk type: lightning talk | ||
+ | *Abstract/description | ||
+ | : Will cover Mer from a purposefully ordinary user's perspective, who just wants it work and get things done while using it, dishearteningly ignoring the sweat and tears of developers, who worked hard to get to this point. | ||
+ | : Will discuss problems that may arise from raised expectations as Mer's UI starts looking very attractive, but the internals are still not up to scratch. More and more people will get attracted, with next to no clue of what Mer really is and an overwhelming sense of entitlement, the "I want my money back" kind. | ||
+ | *Additional Information | ||
+ | : Might need to show some Mer screenshots. | ||
+ | *Author bio | ||
+ | :Tomasz Dominikowski is a Linux user since 2004, a GNOME and Ubuntu translator since 2006 (Ubuntu Polish translators admin). Aviary.pl member since 2007, where I he takes care of GNOME and Novell SUSE Enterprise Desktop. In his spare time he remasters Ubuntu for the Polish community. Now involved in Mer, where he helps out by managing translations, patching, packaging, testing and making a general fuss. | ||

- | : | + | : Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) positively impacts on the development process of maemo applications, increasing productivity, improving standardization and reducing coding error. In addition, IDEs definitely help maemo newbies getting started a lot quicker on technologies by providing templates and useful tools under a consistent and integrated graphical interface. IDE Integration project consists of IDEs (ESbox and PluThon), development environments for different languages (Python and C/C++) and PC-Connectivity, a tool to simplify setting up of communication between the Internet Tablet and the host PC. This presentation shows how IDE Integration can be used to help you to develop Maemo applications (C/C++ and Python). |
