Program

The summit program includes keynotes, three tracks, workshops, evening party on Friday and Meegathon competition. On Saturday we have Finhack (http://www.finhack.org) annual conference on the second floor.

Confirmed Speakers

Topics will be set later, in February - March.

Tracks

In every organization, there are people who just have the knack for getting the most out of certain software and tools. These tracks are 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)

Hackshops

Also known as lame Workshops. Participating to Hackshops requires sufficient amount of hack attitude and enthusiasm. We have some facilities (small meeting rooms) for hackshops. If you get an idea about what to teach/show to others (preferably hands-on stuff), book yourself a hackshop space and let the organizers know about it by dropping at the information desk! Your hackshop will be announced in twitter and on the venue screens. If you already know a topic, put it below.

Ideas for Workshop.

Add your ideas for workshops below. Also add your name if willing to run the workshop.

  • all pyrotechnics and acid based solutions are forbidden!
  • the agenda of your project is not limited in anyway (except the above).

Quick & Dirty

  • must include only software.
  • the end-product must include and use MeeGo OS (1.1 or above) as one of the main components.
