Super idea

Maemo summit is a perfect idea. It gives the project more publicity, which is crucial at this time of new goals etc.--kozuch82 23:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Accommodation

Some people living in or near berlin (including me :)) could provide accommodation in their residences. I think I have space enough for two people... An other idea would be something like: [1] --jukey 15:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Beyond that, it would be also good to know about an affordable hostel. Any ideas?--qgil 20:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
The location of the summit is here: [2] Some colleagues gave me the following tips:
--jukey 14:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

People who may want something a bit classier than a hostel (presumably not sponsored by the Maemo Software Team) may be interested in this list of hotels which should be near the venue. For example, Ibis Berlin Mitte has rooms for about 74 EUR/night. --Jaffa 20:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Lightning sessions

These are really brief sessions of 5 minutes approx i.e. demos. You can propose yours below:

  • i would like to present (properly this time) liqbase to an eager crowd - would need travel/accom arranging --lcuk 12:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

BoFs and workshops

List below your proposals for activities. There are thought to be highly participative i.e. discussion about an area of the platform, workshops, etc:

  • Not sure if it's a BoF or a wider session (BoF would do), but I could imagine doing a "thing" on using mud-builder on producing packages for use with the Extras autobuilder. --Jaffa 21:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • There should be a session by the Task:Community Council assuming one is elected by then. --Jaffa 21:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

About sponsorship

Oskari from Nemein is working on the registration. As soon as it's ready we will use it to get sponsorship requests. We have a limited budget for sponsoring people and one of the keys to get more contributors covered is to find cheap &b decent accommodation, since a lot of €€€ goes there if badly planned. Same for intercontinental flights.--qgil 17:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I gather we request/are told times/dates and specifics after acceptance? lcuk 18:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Let's see how this worflow goes. Be patient, specially the first ones being accepted. However, the more details you can provide already in the initial request, the better.--qgil 19:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Travel

  • I just saw ryanair offers free flights from Stansted to Berlin on the dates of the Summit (September 18th to September 20th). Only taxes apply, so it's only £20 to go back and forth by plane. From what I recalled, flights were 6AM on friday, 9PM on sunday, but their website just went blank, so I can't check it again. I'll try to see if it also works from other places. I don't know what you kind of discounts you get, but this might be interesting to look into. I'll check again when the website's back up --crashanddie 11:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Euroflights gives information on the various airlines which fly into/out-of Berlin --Jaffa 19:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
edreams can give Europe wide fare information, as well - it seems. --Jaffa 20:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Agenda

Would it make sense to reserve a 30 minutes slot after or instead of the briefing session for a key note speaker summarizing/repeating the core announcements of OSIM? --peterschneider 10:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Trademark and Branding

Under the Nokia and Maemo: Next Iteration heading, there are two things that are listed improperly. "Maemo software" should, presumably, be "Maemo Software" and "Maemo.org" should definitely not be capitalized. —GeneralAntilles 18:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Changed. However, this is copy&paste from the OSiM program that won't be changed. The text was requested several weeks ago, before the branding discussion.--qgil 19:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
