Tracks

In every organization, there are people who just have the knack for getting the most out of certain software and tools. This track is where those people shine -- it is the place to show off the newest tools, share creative uses for old favorites, and of course pass on hacks, tips and tricks. Sessions may include demonstrations, pilot projects, examples, techniques, and lessons learned.

  1. Core & Future - Apps and possibilities with latest tools (Fri - Sat)
  2. Hacks & Tricks - HW inventions, unconventional experiments (Fri - Sat)
  3. Biz Buzz - MeeGo Ecosystem and Open Source (Fri)

Workshops
