  • What application developers want
  • The state of things
  • Plans for the future

Proposed talks

• "State of the art" talk ("what happened and where we are" - mickeyl, Ainulindale ?)
  • Onen would listen, +1. Interested in comparison with competing platforms.

• SHR vs. Paroli; SHR + Paroli

• Target Hardware for FSO and SHR
  • Onen would listen, +1

• FSOd & frameworkd2

• Ophonekitd's future
  • Vala rewrite: what it brings (Modularity, testability, configurability, ...)

    • Daniel would be interested in anything replacing oeventsd, +1
    • Onen would be interested in how GSM location can be provided to ologicd, if useful. +1

• State of the GPS DBus API in FSO (Presentation/Discussion?)
  • Gypsy seems quite dead, not many applications use that interface
  • If we need to change the API anyway why not redesign it completely?
  • How should a good DBus interface for GPS look like?
    • Daniel would talk, +1
    • Onen would listen, +1

• dtest - a black-box approach to testing the FSO DBus API
  • We need high level tests
  • Testing on the actual device
  • Using two devices to test complex stuff (call handling)
  • This could integrate with the "Joint FSO/SHR testing proposal", though I know nothing about it yet.
    • Daniel would talk, +1

Proposed workshops

• Hardware workshops
  • Buzzfix workshop
    • Daniel would solder, +1
  • Hardware mods (for instance, DocScrutinizer's USB Y-cable)

Misc

• Do people prefer hotel rooms or is sleeping on the floor in a room together is also fine?
  • An Hotel room is 15€/night, sleeping in tents is free. I don't mind sleeping in a tent or on the floor. (Deubeuliou)
• How do we like to handle food? Going out or prepare on our own?

• Will there be a live stream of the talks for the people who can't come?
  • This is very likely. The hows are currently being managed. We will let you know how this goes!! -- ptitjes
