Topics

Potential themes for the conference which suit a first conference.

MeeGo for Maemo & Moblin application developers

Bringing developers from old platform to new

- please define here how the old differs from the new. I am assuming the new platform includes using the Qt framework as the standard, but what else? What is the smooth way to move RPM -> DEB?

MeeGo for N900 and N8x0 owners

 - What is MeeGo in a concrete way? Is it a set of userland libraries and applications that you can run on your N900 in a chrooted environment for example?

Bring our old power users over

- dual booting a "Meego flash image" on your N?x? device? What about MER?

New developers coming to MeeGo

Qt and WRT, and maybe Clutter

Distributing MeeGo software

- yes, please explain how to do this in light of the current system of uploading Debian packages & promoting?

What comes after Extras?

MeeGo platform

Getting more developers involved in the MeeGo platform, and reaching out to upstream to have a critical mass of MeeGo middleware developers there

Cool stuff (hardware & software) coming out of Helsinki & Portland

Target press & new users

Building a healthy MeeGo community

Involving Intel and Nokia engineers, upstream, platform hackers, application developers and power users in the MeeGo community - covering things like community infrastructure, social dynamics & policies, and community involvement in product roadmaps, etc
