Events/Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit planning

Revision as of 23:06, 28 February 2011

Status: Work in Progress, not final plans.

Overview

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will be held April 6 - 8, and we will have a full day MeeGo Workgroup at the event. We did something similar last year: MeeGo Workgroup Agenda for LFCS 2010.

LF Collaboration Summit Event Logistics

• Date: April 6 - 8
• Location: Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco, CA
• Details

MeeGo Workgroup Logisitics

• Date: April 7 with option to have a 2 day workgroup on April 7-8
• Location: Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco, CA
• Time: 9am - 6pm (need to confirm times)

Decisions / Options

To be decided after we do more work on the proposed sessions (below):

• Stick to a one day conference with a tight schedule on Thursday that applies to everyone?
• OR have a 2 day workgroup with more information (Thursday and Friday)?
• IF we did a 2 day workgroup, we could have the broad, general sessions on Day 1 (Thursday) and more detailed, specific sessions on Day 2 (Friday).

Content Overview

The purpose of this day is to give people who are new to MeeGo more information while also providing new updates to current contributors and people already participating in MeeGo.

Content should be:

• Mostly technical or relevant to MeeGo platform developers, application developers and other community contributors.
• Relevant to a broad audience - we only have one track, so we won't be able to accommodate niche topics (save those for the MeeGo Conference in May).
• Try to get a mix of presentations (65%-75%) and collaboration sessions (25%-35%)

Session Plan

Please do not add new suggestions to this section (use the sections below for new suggestions).

• TSG Q&A (45 - 60 min)
• MeeGo Architecture (45 min) - Sunil Saxena (tentative)
• Compliance (45 min) - Mark Skarpness
• Using the SDK to create MeeGo Apps (60 min) - Bob Spencer
• MeeGo UI Design for Applications (45 min) - TBD
• Vertical program and / or WG updates and maybe demos (IVI, Handset, core, etc.) (60 min) - maybe just 20 minutes each?
• Community Office update (metrics, events & marketing) (45 min) - Dawn and Quim
• State of networking and connectivity (including transition to ipv6) (45 min) - TBD
• Product Showcase: 5 or 10 minute talks or demos from people working on interesting MeeGo products or applications.
• Breakouts / BOFs: 4 simultaneous breakout sessions in each corner of the room (no projector or microphones used). - May have several sessions of breakouts.

Product Showcase Suggestions

5 or 10 minute talks or demos for people working on interesting MeeGo products or applications.

Extra credit for suggesting a person to present your product showcase.

• Live demo of Transifex, the web-based, open source translation management tool we use for MeeGo (Dimitris Glezos)
• Overview of community metrics dashboard

Breakouts / BOFs Suggestions

Breakout sessions for teams or hot topics. These would need to be in 4 corners of the same room, so no projector or microphones can used. This would also need to be at the end of each day, since we'll need to rearrange the room a bit to accommodate.

Extra credit for suggesting a person to lead your breakout.

• Localization session explaining the new langpacks for 1.2 and the new features of Transifex (Dimitris Glezos or Margie Foster).
• Community Office - Dawn / Quim
• Application Development - Bob Spencer
• TBD

Please add additional, specific or new suggestions to this section

Extra credit for suggesting a speaker for your suggestion.

• QtQuick for one of the Application Dev talks (suggested by Dave Neary on ML)
• Metrics Dashboard Overview - Dave Neary (Need to decide if this fits into the community talk or is separate)
• State of networking, connectivity, transition to ipv6, etc. (Maybe Marcel)
